Re: [SOLVED] Xorg-server-utils upgrade question

Sorry for posting in a solved thread but this is relevant. I've noticed that some binaries that are shipped with xorg-utils are also provided by the new standalone packages. xorg-utils provides

usr/bin/xdpyinfo
usr/bin/xdriinfo
usr/bin/xev
usr/bin/xfd
usr/bin/xfontsel
usr/bin/xlsatoms
usr/bin/xlsclients
usr/bin/xlsfonts
usr/bin/xprop
usr/bin/xvinfo
usr/bin/xwininfo

xfd, xwininfo, xlsatoms, xlsclients, xvinfo are already provided by individual packages. Is that normal?

Edit: Found the bug report. A moderator may delete this post if he believes that it is redundant.

You need to -Syu to fix that.

So, now xorg-server-utils and xorg-apps can be removed, or what?

Re: [SOLVED] Xorg-server-utils upgrade question

I've been doing regular "pacman -Syu" updates.  However,  xvinfo is still owned by both xorg-utils (7.6-5) and xorg-xvinfo (1.1.1-1).  I still have xorg-server-utils (7.6-1) installed, but it doesn't seem to be conflicting with anything.  Is this a new bug?  I don't want to report one if I simply missed  reading some announcement, but I've been looking and haven't found anything yet.
