Details

Description:
Cannot install irssi if irssi-otr is installed, and vice-versa.
They conflict on file: /usr/share/irssi/help/otr

irssi can now be compiled with otr support.
The update is an import of code from irssi-otr source.
As such irssi-otr package is pretty much redundant.

Possible paths to solve:
~ Fix irssi PKGBUILD to compile with '--with-otr' - which will make irssi-otr in direct conflict / directly redundant
~ Do not install the conflicting help file unless otr support is also compiled

Additional info:
* package version: irssi 1.2.0 (and likely above)

Steps to reproduce:
(on clean install)
pacman -S irssi
pacman -S irssi-otr
This task depends upon
