Please advise.

Hello Xabre!

After you checked that files, you can use the force option, pacman -f

I don't think it's a good option in this case.
If the conflicting files are not included in any packages the -f option is the correct solution but not in this case.
Please fill a bug report.

djszapi, thanks for your answer.
However, I'm a bit worried that forcing overwrite of files that belong to some other package ( files from mesa overwrite files from glew) might cause future problems.
Is this a bug or it's supposed to be that way? I still bet it's a packaging bug...

Yes, it's a bug.

Yes, it's a bug.

btw, the bugtracker is up! just wait until dns is propagated

1LordAnubis · 2009-09-04 21:05:04

Exactly the same problem here.

Babets · 2009-09-04 21:07:28

I'm opening the bug

panosk · 2009-09-04 21:08:08

Same here

@Babets
Man, you're quick .

loafer · 2009-09-04 21:16:05

I did:

 
sudo mv /usr/include/GL/glew.h /usr/include/GL/glew.h-old
sudo mv /usr/include/GL/glxew.h /usr/include/GL/glxew.h-old
sudo mv /usr/include/GL/wglew.h /usr/include/GL/wglew.h-old

did a pacman syu

rebooted and it's not broken yet. I may be about to eat my words -:)

Yes, but you broke glew

loafer · 2009-09-04 21:28:51

OK... understood .. the new files are there ..

locate glew.h
/usr/include/GL/glew.h
/usr/include/GL/glew.h-old
/usr/include/GL/wglew.h
locate lxew.h
/usr/include/GL/glxew.h
/usr/include/GL/glxew.h-old
locate wglew.h
/usr/include/GL/wglew.h
/usr/include/GL/wglew.h-old

What can I test to prove it is now broken?

A diff would suffice...

azleifel · 2009-09-04 23:11:19

glew is now included in the mesa demo programs (it's a bugfix - "Added missing GLEW library to MesaDemos tarballs"!)

danthux · 2009-09-04 23:20:35

so, pacman -Syyuf --noconfirm would be safe?

Chrysalis · 2009-09-04 23:33:15

I dont think thats ever safe, just wait for a fix.

never do that again. the real fix is to recompile mesa with replaces and provides glew

pacman -R glew

pacman -Syu

solved for me, waiting to a new glew package to reinstall it.

skottish · 2009-09-05 00:38:59

As buttons said before, a diff will suffice to find out whether there's 100% compatibility. mesa is installing the header files, not overwriting any of glew's binaries.

Richer · 2009-09-05 01:44:28

I have the same problem, exactly mesa provides glew, but...there is a problem. I have the situation because i install spring and it needs glew as dependency, if i try to use the headers of glew that mesa provides, then spring can't be builded.

Maybe is a spring problem that expect a "glew" package but the problem persist. I try to contact jgc before bugzilla were up.

ejmarkow · 2009-09-05 07:04:38

Same problem here. So, just wait for a fix, nothing more? Will do.

jelly · 2009-09-05 08:50:48

You will have to wait for the dev's the update the mesa package and upload it to the server and then wait till the mirrors are synced. For now just wait , you can still install some needed packages ( not xorg ) with pacman -S . Just don't use -f , ever.
