Details

Description:
Conky throws all its files in /usr, while some go in /etc (speaks for itself doesn't it...):
[stijn@lysithea ~]$ pacman -Ql conky
conky /etc/
conky /etc/xdg/
conky /etc/xdg/conky/
conky /etc/xdg/conky/conkyrc.sample
conky /usr/
conky /usr/bin/
conky /usr/bin/conky
conky /usr/etc/
conky /usr/etc/conky/
conky /usr/etc/conky/conky.conf
conky /usr/man/
conky /usr/man/man1/
conky /usr/man/man1/conky.1.gz
conky /usr/share/
conky /usr/share/licenses/
conky /usr/share/licenses/conky/
conky /usr/share/licenses/conky/COPYING

This makes you end up with duplicate files (conky.conf = conkyrc and a extra dirs.


Additional info:
I only noticed this with the latest version (1.4.9-1), but I suppose this has been existing for a long time already (--prefix=/usr... tsk tsk).

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -Ql conky ;-)

Fix:
Remove /usr/etc ... Or (I didn't check if this works) compile conky with --sysconfdir=/etc/xdg.


I also noticed the package has no maintainer anymore... Maybe it should be moved to community - or 'worse', to AUR?
This task depends upon

Yay. Pacman -Qi conky shows no packager so I presumed it was orphaned. Disregard that remark.... And can I edit my *own* bug reports please?

No, you can't, because permission to edit a report includes much more things that shouldn't be available to users.
