Arch Linux

Hello Alexei,

I'm having trouble reproducing this problem. Can you do me a favour and reproduce it yourself with the --verbose switch and send me the output?

# pacman -R mplayer cdparanoia
# pacman -Uv mplayer-1.0pre5-6.pkg.tar.gz cdparanoia-9.8-4.pkg.tar.gz 2>&1 | tee output.log


Thanks.

I have repeated the steps you provided and see NO BUG!!! I tried to get the bug during an hour, but result was the same. But finally i understood the problem: do not remove mplayer and cdparanoia before their upgrade, e.g. when you invoke

# pacman -U mplayer-1.0pre5-6.pkg.tar.gz cdparanoia-9.8-4.pkg.tar.gz

both mplayer and cdparanoia must be already installed in the system. I was testing this on the same packages versions.

Thank you.

Sorry :(. In the previous post fourth line must be first. My copy/paste mistake...

Thanks.

Hmm... thanks for the verbose output, but it seems neither of us can reproduce the problem now. :(

With Dale's help, I've reproduced this bug. It will be fixed in 2.9.5.
