Description:
This package conflicts with "community/linuxtv-dvb-apps" due to both packages owning "/usr/bin/zap". The executable is clearly different in both packages (not that this is surprising). From some initial checking, it's not clear to me if this is specific to ArchLinux (due to /usr/bin consolidation) or would occur anywhere, but I would like to suggest for now that a "conflicts=" is added to the PKGBUILD.

(I determined that I didn't need xbase and so am not currently impacted, but am happy to assist with further actions beyond the above if it is determined that is warranted, rather than just 'leave it to the next person').


Additional info:
Current versions of packages:
* linuxtv-dvb-apps 1486-1 (last updated 2012-11-21 04:57 UTC)
* xbase 2.0.0-2 (last updated 2012-04-14 16:33 UTC)

See attachment which shows target file size, date, and invocation output differ between packages.

Nothing specific to this could be located on upstream mailing lists or bug trackers (for either package, though I had to check a few locations for linuxtv-dvb-apps to try and be thorough...)


Steps to reproduce:
1. Install linuxtv-dvb-apps through pacman.
2. Attempt to install xbase through pacman.

Intended outcome is that both packages are installed successfully. Actual outcome is:
"error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
xbase: /usr/bin/zap exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded."

Note: I have also opened  FS#37862  to update community/linuxtv-dvb-apps; please feel free to relate.

I can confirm that linuxtv-dvb-apps and xbase can co-exist now, per the binary in the linuxtv-dvb-apps package being renamed. Many thanks to György Balló for doing that (I would put that into the other task, but it's closed, so I state it here :-)).
