Ehm, what do you mean exactly? can't find anything special in your bugreport.txt file. If it's about file conflicts that may appear while upgrading termcap-compat: that's a bug in the old package, the dead symlink in the old package isn't registered in the filelist.

pacman has some problems with Turkish locale.. I use tr_TR.UTF-8 and whenever I try to use pacman I get this error:

error: failed to parse config (syntax error in config file)

When I change all locales to C, then it works just fine. I talked to the people in #archlinux and a guy with the nickname phrakture told me to send the bug report for this package..

Yeah, the report is actually a bit off (I didn't look close enough) as a -Sf was done before it.

JGC, this is a bug with the old termcap package, correct? It's not related to pacman 3?

The filelist is generated by tarring the things up, running that through tar ztf, sorting the output and putting that in .FILELIST. The downside of this way is that tar won't list dead symlinks. The old termcap package had those things, which caused pacman to extract it, but not register it in the package database. I fixed the package, but now we have file conflicts because a file in the package conflicts with some unknown file on the filesystem

The last one describes it best. After installing termcap-compat there's some weird unknown file that came out of nothing.

Ah I see.

I will close this bug. We should make sure the public / devs know that this was a bug in the old package, and that a --force upgrade of the package is recommended.
