Hi there,
my system update just failed due to a dependency conflict. This is the output:
schorsch@archie:~$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: nvidia: ignoring package upgrade (180.22-1 => 180.29-3)
warning: nvidia-utils: ignoring package upgrade (180.22-1 => 180.29-3)
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: freetype2 conflicts with freetype2-ubuntu. Remove freetype2-ubuntu? [Y/n] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: freetype2: conflicts with freetype2-ubuntu
schorsch@archie:~$
Why is pacman canceling the whole system update just because of freetype? Why can't I keep freetype2-ubuntu if pacman gives me the choice of saying "no"? How do I find out which package is requesting freetype2?
How should I proceed? Just add freetype2 to my IgnorePkg list?
TIA,
Blackhole
Coming closer and closer to the ultimate goal: replacing boring old Windows XP desktop with shiny new Arch KDE 4 desktop. ^^

The freetype2-ubuntu package should have a "provides=('freetype2')" line in it. So, its not pacman's fault, but the PKGBUILDs fault...

Manually upgrade freetype2-ubuntu to latest. Then rerun pac -Syu.

@Allan already provides. he has an old version of freetype2-ubuntu
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Solution ? :
pacman -Su --ignore freetype2
