Details
The extra/gconf package's install script uses the "pidof"
binary provided (only) in sysvinit-tools, which is installed
as a dep of systemd-sysvcompat, itself part of the "base"
group. However neither package is a hard dependency of
gconf, leading to this error:
(272/536) reinstalling gconf [########################################################################################] 100% /tmp/alpm_UrZcRr/.INSTALL: line 12: pidof: command not found I see this has been fixed in the package svn here nearly a month ago: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/?h=packages/gconf&id=4f702adac425b0e82be4cbaf528ca2d7fa6a7dc6 Maybe the maintainer will see this and get it packaged up :) |

Reason for closing: Won't fix
Additional comments about closing: It will be in a next version. Not killing gconf daemons after upgrade is not a big issue, esp given the fact that we're on the same upstream version for a long while now.
