Details

urxvt-perls includes the following:

Conflicts With : urxvt-url-select urxvt-keyboard-select urxvt-clipboard
Replaces : urxvt-url-select urxvt-keyboard-select urxvt-clipboard

The "replaces" should only be used when a given package supersedes a previous package. In this case, the scripts included in urxvt-perls are alternate and independent implementations of the packages listed above.

Please remove the "replaces" array from this package. The "provides" and "conflicts" arrays are sufficient.

Thanks.

Different implementation? How did you arrive at this conclusion?

I'll concede that your urxvt-clipboard is entirely independent, but the remainder are by the same author (who also has a script called 'clipboard' for urxvt).

The replaces are correct aside from urxvt-clipboard. These are needed for the upgrade path, or else pacman would never install urxvt-perls in place of urxvt-url-select or urxvt-keyboard-select.

Sorry, based only on urxvt-clipboard I had assumed that the other entries in the replaces array were misplaced as well.

Awesome, we're both wrong! I'll package up a -2 later tonight with the urxvt-clipboard replacer removed. Apologies for stepping on your toes.
