Replacing packages during upgrade?

When running

pacman -Su

it asks me

:: Replace heimdal with core/krb5? [Y/n]

. That particular one is just an example. I'm wondering whether it is generally advisable to replace when pacman asks.

The capitalized option (in this case Y[es]) indicates whether it is the recommended course of action. You can always select no and abort the upgrade and then read up on why the replacement is happening.

Where do I go to read up on such things?

Generally, the mailing lists - in this case Arch-Dev Public

Also, please use -Syu , not -Su.
