Details

Description: After the lua 5.4 rollout the lua53-lgi package was added to the repos, but without a "replaces" field. This leads to strange messages if one runs pacman -Qi awesom, for instance, claiming that awesome needs lua-lgi, which is no longer true. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=258099 for a discussion


Additional info:
* package version(s): 0.9.2-3
* config and/or log files etc.: see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=258099
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -Qi awesome (or any other package depending on "old lua-lgi"
This task depends upon

The bigger issue is automatically guaranteeing -Syu results in replacing one with the other and the upgrade succeeding, vs. default-fail conflicting packages that break awesome and therefore the upgrade if you just type <ENTER> or use --noconfirm

Any ETA for this? My arch upgrade keeps failing b/o this and I don't know a workaround (sorry, newbie...)

For other newbies like me, you can fix the problem by using the pacman -Rdd command to remove lua-lgi. Hopefully other people can correct me if I am wrong. The extra -dd command will ignore dependencies.

Both lua53-lgi and lua-lgi are available in the repositories, and they have no conflicting files, so I assume it was fixed.
