I have two different versions of Xulrunner installed, one from the repos and one from AUR. The one from AUR is newer, but when I try to remove the other one I get an error that it's a dependency of some other programs and can't be removed. How can I remove the old one and have the programs just use the newer one instead?
Thanks!

Most likely you need to remove the old one with pacman -Rd, and then make the AUR one provide the normal one -- edit /var/lib/pacman/local/nameofaurxulrunner-andversion/depends and at the end add:
%PROVIDES%
xulrunner=theproperversionyouhave
or if %PROVIDES% is already there, you can add the xulrunner line under it. You will have to do this each time you upgrade the package -- you can edit the PKGBUILD's provides to do this before installing/upgrading from the AUR.

Thanks, should the version under provides be the newer version from AUR or the older version from the repos?
e: I removed the older version but when I install Firefox 3.5 from AUR I still get the error that I don't have xulrunner 1.9.1, which is the version that is installed from AUR. What do I need to do so that version is "seen" by Firefox?
