Details

On a newly installed copy of arch linux I've had a couple of file conflicts when adding packages, with files appear to have been pre-installed. So far discovered:

When installing vim: /bin/rview

When installing mesa (I believe this was via vlc): /usr/include/GL/gl.h /usr/include/GL/glext.h /usr/include/GL/glx.h /usr/include/GL/glxext.h


Running "pacman -Qo" on these files indicates they are not part of any package, I believe they were installed as part of the base or base-devel package groups (picked at install time), as I've not installed anything except using pacman up to this point. Moving/renaming these files solved all problems with them.

Apologies if the category is incorrect, I wasn't sure which to put it in.
This task depends upon

I found another file with this issue:

on installing rhythmbox, /usr/bin/esd (from esound)

well, these are actually package installation issues. nothing related to aif/releng afaict.
this is usually known behavior and gets posted on the main page. for the vim file for example: http://www.archlinux.org/news/464/

i'm gonna close this ticket, if you find out an issue for a specific package for which there is no corresponding news message, you can report a bug for the specific package.
