Just asking why the ttf-bitstream-vera is still ther as it conflict with xorg and trying to install it leads to this warning ! :
ttf-bitstream-vera conflicts with xorg. Remove xorg? [Y/n]

Shouldn't it be removed ?!

The bitstream Vera fonts are no longer included in Xorg 7.0, so I added the package. Seems it got to current somehow, while it was meant for testing. It shouldn't be gone, but you just shouldn't install it with Xorg 6.8 :P

Yes indeed :)
That's just because I have a (bad) bash script that installs it :) and I thought it might be "dangerous" !
Like you want to install a font and you remove you're X server ;)

I find this error confusing. I get it and I don't even have ttf-bistream-vera installed.

Since it would appear to be a mistake that a package got added to current ny mistake, can I assume that someone will be fixing the current repo?

Or should I be doing something else?
