Weird... after doing a pacman -Syu --ignore mozilla-firefox and upgrading everything else first, it no longer complains about mozilla-firefox conflicting with mozilla.

My mistake, close the bug...

Sorry, my mistake, I should have posted an announcement.

I changed the way we use firefox a bit. In the old situation, mozilla was used to build programs like yelp, galeon, epiphany, etc against. Since mozilla is a dead end, we switched this to a patched up version of firefox.

Seems pacman doesn't handle the upgrade very well, but if you upgrade mozilla first and then firefox, there's no problem. Firefox provides all libraries and includefiles mozilla did, mozilla got them stripped.

Jan: I attempted to upgrade mozilla first, then ran 'pacman -Syu'. Here is my output:

Yup, seen that in much worse form:
having an mplayer-plugin, evolution-data-server and firefox upgrade at the same time even makes it worse, then you also have nss-nspr conflicting.

Solution: upgrade firefox first, then upgrade the rest of the packages.

Upgrading mozilla and mozilla-firefox on their own did fix the problem, I was able to successfully use pacman to upgrade.

Thanks!
