[solved] Can't update, because of conflict in manpages / gcc

[blackout24]

Hi,

I was just about to do an update on my ODRIOD-C1, which I use as a home server. However it looks like man-pages and gcc want to provide the same file and the whole update is aborted. I'm a bit baffled, a) how this could be and b) why I couldn't find anyone else with the same issue.

I thought about removing man-pages, applying the update and the reinstalling man-pages but theconflict would probably still be there.

I can confirm this problem. There was a discussion of this over at the github issues pages that was marked invalid without explanation. As of this evening the issue tracker at https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUIL ... IBUTING.md seems to have disappeared entirely.

A newly compiled gcc is in the repositories and the update now works.

I wanted to build my own man-pages package so I cloned the PKGBUILDs repo but I couldn't find the package there. According to pacman -Si man-pages it should be in [core]. I could rebuild the gcc package and delete these two files in the packaging step, but I don't really want to compile such a large project on my ODROID. What happened to the man-pages package?

EDIT: Thanks for the info. It works now.

As per the README on PKGBUILDs, any package not in PKGBUILDs is straight from ABS.
