gtk-gir conflicts with atk and gtk2 updates [SOLVED]

When upgrading with pacman -Syu I get the following error:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
atk: /usr/share/gir-1.0/Atk-1.0.gir exists in filesystem
gtk2: /usr/share/gir-1.0/Gdk-2.0.gir exists in filesystem
gtk2: /usr/share/gir-1.0/GdkPixbuf-2.0.gir exists in filesystem
gtk2: /usr/share/gir-1.0/Gtk-2.0.gir exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Checking with pacman -Qo /usr/share/gir-1.0/Atk-1.0.gir gives:

/usr/share/gir-1.0/Atk-1.0.gir is owned by gtk-gir 0.6.5-1

And pacman -Qi gtk-gir gives:

Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package
Install Script : No
Description    : GIR interface description files for GTK+

The dependencies can be tracked up to my installation of aur/avant-window-navigator-0.4-bzr 20100211-1

I'm stumped. Can you help me get around this problem?

Thanks!

Re: gtk-gir conflicts with atk and gtk2 updates [SOLVED]

you should get rid of gtk-gir and rebuild avant-window-navigator-0.4-bzr using the right dependencies now that we support gobject in our packages

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

@wonder
Thanks for the tip! It makes sense.

However, the current PKGBUILD for libdesktop-agnostic-gnome-bzr speaks about dependencies like so:

depends=('glib2' 'gtk2>=2.20.0' 'gconf' 'gnome-vfs' 'gnome-desktop')
makedepends=('bzr' 'python' 'pygobject' 'pygtk' 'vala' 'gobject-introspection')
optdepends=('python')
conflicts=('libdesktop-agnostic')

And I still get the build error. I suspect the workaround is to force a removal of gtk-gir but I'm hesitating because I really don't want to break my AWN installation.
Am I being too cautios - or is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks!

remove gtk-gir, fully update and then rebuld awn. is simple and it would not break anything

Re: gtk-gir conflicts with atk and gtk2 updates [SOLVED]

Thanks again!
I did what you said and it worked.

NOTE to users of avant-window-navigator-0.4-bzr: When upgrading to gnome 2.30.0 you will have to downgrade vala to version 0.7.10-1 or libdesktop-agnostic-gnome-bzr won't compile.
