Subject: [arch-general] Error with makepkg installing dependency
From: Baho Utot <baho-u...@columbus.rr.com>
To: General Discusson about Arch Linux <arch-general@archlinux.org>

When compiling packages using makeworld or my custom script I am
getting a number of failures like this:

/usr/info/dir exists in both 'glib' and 'gtk'

What causes this?

Is there a way to fix this without forcing this packages?

or better still is there a fix?

Thanks



Hello,

no package should provide that file. As a workaround ,simply remove it
in the PKGBUILD. Proper info file handling is demonstrated in the file
proto-info.install uder /usr/share/pacman.

Also, info files should be installed under /usr/share/info, not
/usr/info.
Regards Stefan

I didn't make the PKGBUILD files.

I should not have to remove anything from the PKGBUILD files that are in
extra.
They should just build with makepkg.

Are you saying the arch developers don't know what they are doing?

But you did build them differently. Arch developers are slowly
building info docs into packages, and you attempted to enable them
without adding the required lines to delete that file.

One of us is confused....

here is what I did

abs

rsync -var /var/abs/extra ~/

makeworld --clean --log --noconfirm --syncdeps --rmdeps /home/packages/testing .

the error I originally posted came from the log file

Can you point out where I changed the build file/process? or attempted to enable the info files?
