These packages should not conflict. llvm-svn should install only llvm specific files and clang-svn should install only clang specific files. I quickly looked at package() in clang-svn and it makes me believe that it installs llvm files also. Here is what clang-svn does https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cl/clang-svn/PKGBUILD: cd "$srcdir/$_svnmod-build/build" make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install And it differs from package_clang() function in https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/llvm cd "$srcdir/llvm-$pkgver.src/tools/clang" make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install I believe clang-svn should do something similar, i.e. install only clang specific files. > As you can see in the pkgbuild, clang clones llvm source and everything > from that source is built. This is a problem of build system used by upstream project (in this case clang). On *nix, projects usually split its codebases into small pieces and if it requires additional dependencies (like headers/libraries) then they are installed as system packages. On systems that do not have good package managers (windows/osx) the only reasonable way to build the project is to pull all dependencies sources and build them as well, there is no other way to get those dependencies. That is why clang and many other projects pull dependencies sources and build them. Instead, on Linux, they should use system libraries. I filed a ticket for similar issue in liblikely https://github.com/biometrics/likely/issues/39 I think the best way to resolve the clang issue is to ask clang/llvm community to split the codebases, let clang to be built separately and let it use llvm system libraries/headers (at least as a build time option).
