Details

Description: both packages provides the file: /usr/share/mc/extfs/u7z (note: these are differents)

I guess also should add a provides line for "mcedit-pkgbuild-syntax"

Additional info:
mc-4.7.0.2-2
p7zip 9.04-1
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  As the version included with p7zip is more up to date, I removed the u7z script from mc and added an optdepends

What are the differences? Is this something that should be listed as a conflict or should the file be stripped from one or the other?

I guess the file should not be copied in the p7zip package, and mc should provide what is in the original source.
Files are from differents authors, and I can't do a fast comparation about what is better technically.

   u7z.mc (2.3 KiB)
   u7z.p7zip (3.3 KiB)

Actually... they appear to be v4.20(mc) and v4.29(p7z) of the same program (the current author appears to have picked up where the original author left off.
