Reading at pacman's code points out the opposite, it checks for pkgname first, and if it doesn't exist it checks for groups. Roelof probably had that issue because his repo was after current in his pacman-g2.conf, and in current there is just the group called cinnamon-desktop, not the package (yeah pacman doesn't handle multiple repos in a good way). By the way the issue is still there, one can't install a group if there's a package with the same name, so it's better to not have groups with the same name as packages (and cinnamon-desktop group just contains one package, so shouldn't be a problem to rename it). _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
