pidgin: /usr/share/pixmaps/pidgin/protocols/22/facebook.png exists in filesystem

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

a plugin I have installed? should still be safe to -Sf right?

Re: Pidgin Conflict

pacman -Qo those files and see if any package owns them.   If not, move them rather than -Sf...

Re: Pidgin Conflict

I think you have pidgin-facebookchat from aur installed, and the latest pidgin has native support for facebook's xmpp, so you  can freely remove pidgin-facebookchat and re-setup your facebook account in pidgin, if you use it.

Re: Pidgin Conflict

Sorry about that; yeah it was pidgin-facebookchat. Guess I just never thought it would get integrated into pidgin. I just used it as a novelty a year or two ago and forgot about it.
Thanks
