[arch-general] cairo and cairo-lcd conflict preventing me from getting updates

2008-04-21 Thread Alec Hussey
Hey everyone,

Ive been kind of frustrated lately because I haven't been able to update
any of my pacakges because of a conflict between cairo and cairo-lcd.
Here is the output from pacman.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: cairo conflicts with cairo-lcd. Remove cairo-lcd? [Y/n] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: cairo: conflicts with cairo-lcd

I obviously want to keep that package and I even entered it in
pacman.conf under HoldPkg and seems to have no affect. I dont know what
I should do.

Thanks!
Alec Hussey

My personal opinion is instead of installing an unofficial package name
cairo-lcd, just rebuild the cairo package with any extra patches you
want.
