Making a PKGBUILD with conflicting dependencies

I'm currently maintaining the ugly font fix for openoffice (with the infinality patch).

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44325

Today a new version of libreoffice was released and the depency of that is now go-openoffice and not openoffice-base. The PKGBUILD I've made supports both openoffice and libreoffice installations but in the depency list I have written openoffice-base. This now conflicts with a libreoffice installation. Is there a neat way (with and if statement) that I can make the pkgbuild cheeck for openoffice installation when checking dependencies?

Re: Making a PKGBUILD with conflicting dependencies

libreoffice provides go-openoffice. There's no dependency. Your package puts files in /usr/lib/openoffice/program and libreoffice installs to /usr/lb/libreoffice. You can't depend on A or B if A and B don't have the same provide.

Re: Making a PKGBUILD with conflicting dependencies

So that means I will have to make 2 separate packages then?
