When trying to update to ed-0.5-2 i get the following error:
error: could not extract /usr/bin/red (Invalid cross-device link)
error: errors occurred while upgrading ed

Problem is, pacman does install version 0.5-2, but without the /usr/bin/red link...

I have /usr on a seperate partition and i think /usr/bin/red is a hardlink to /bin/ed

Maybe change
"./configure --prefix=/usr"
into
"./configure --prefix=/"
in the PKGBUILD?

Wouldn't that also make the mv of /usr/bin/ed to /bin/ed obsolete? (added bonus ;) )
This task depends upon
