Description:
"jack" package has "Replaces : jack-audio-connection-kit" but "jack2" not. In that case some aur packages say "missing dependency"

Pacman says:
missing dependency for amsynth : jack-audio-connection-kit
missing dependency for aubio : jack-audio-connection-kit
missing dependency for jack-keyboard : jack-audio-connection-kit
missing dependency for klick : jack-audio-connection-kit
missing dependency for meterbridge : jack-audio-connection-kit
missing dependency for slv2 : jack-audio-connection-kit

Maybe need just add "Replaces : jack-audio-connection-kit" to "jack2" package?
This task depends upon

jack2 is not supposed to be a jack replacement

Definitely not a replacement.

The provision for 'jack-audio-connection-kit' in 'jack' is a transition step. It has already been a while since the rename, so I didn't want to have the same provision in 'jack2' in order to remind everyone that 'jack-audio-connection-kit' is a deprecated package name. But that's wrong. It still conflicts with jack and so should provide for whatever jack provides. Sorry about that, update incoming.

At the same time, please remind all AUR maintainers to update their dependencies to 'jack'. The few packages in [extra] and [community] will be updated as well:

./community/openmovieeditor (depends)
./community/portaudio (depends)
./community/recordmydesktop (makedepends)
./community/tuxguitar (makedepends)
./extra/aubio (depends)
./extra/libvisual-plugins (depends)
./extra/alsaplayer (makedepends)
