Description:
When a package is replaced with a package of different name during update, and there is some problem with updating any other package, the package is removed from the system without any message. I upgraded the full system today. I was asked if I want to replace amarok-base and amarok-engine-xine with amarok. I replied 'yes'. But then xorg-server update bug appeared (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69691) and stopped the instalation. As a result the old amarok packages were removed but the new one was not installed. Of course it was not a big problem for me, because amarok is not a critical package, but this bug can cause removal of any package of the system... Actually I remember that last year many people (including me) lost coreutils package due to a bug in some nvidia drivers update, which broken kernel as a result. Iirc the bug report was filled and I thought it was fixed, but it seems it was not. Additional info: * package version(s) pacman 3.2.2-1 |
This task depends upon

FS#9088, which has been already fixed in git, so this bug should not exist in the next major pacman release.
