Description:

The latest update to edk2-ovmf has it own /usr/share/ovmf as a symlink, which breaks other packages that install files under /usr/share/ovmf (the AUR packages for ovmf-arm and ovmf-aarch64, as well as any other packages that want to install other UEFI firmware variants). /usr/share/ovmf should be created as a directory that no one package owns, and the individual packages should make whatever arch-specific symlinks they need underneath it.



Additional info:
* edk2-ovmf-202002-9
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:

Install latest edk2-ovmf package, then try to install ovmf-arm and ovmf-aarch64 from AUR.
