Hi guys, We have the following problem:
At the moment /etc/mtab is being generated at boot (so it is not owned by any package). However, we want to replace it with a symlink pointing to /proc/self/mounts (preferably owned by util-linux). If we do this, there will be a conflict on upgrade and users have to manually delete /etc/mtab before upgrading. To avoid user intervention we could just create the symlink in a postupgrade/postinstall script in util-linux, but I'm not sure if that is something we want to be doing. Is there any way to tell pacman to "ignore conflicts with this particular file, just overwrite it"? Any thoughts? Tom
