After the recent change to the upstream layout ie no more /bin /sbin /usr/sbin I needed to clean up residual packages occupying those folders before I could do the final pacman -Su filesystem. I had to remove mtd-utils, heimdal, gen-init-cpio & tcp_wrappers.
It seems tcp_wrappers has disappeared from the Arch eco-system for lack of support; heimdal seems useful, but I can't find an archlinuxarm version of it.
I have these in my cache
Jan 18 2011 heimdal-1.3.3-4-arm.pkg.tar.xz
Jan 18 2011 gen-init-cpio-2.6.36-1-arm.pkg.tar.xz
so have restored those. I think these must have come from the initial install on my sheeva. Is there any place we can get suitable PKGBUILDs for things like this or do we just add arm etc etc to the supported architectures and hope they build OK.
