xkeyboard-config 2.45 issue with symlinks
<!-- Please read our Bug reporting guidelines before opening a bug: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bug_reporting_guidelines If you want to help catching more bugs upfront, consider joining the Arch Testing Team: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_Testing_Team --> # Description: Fail to upgrade from 2.44 to 2.45: ``` Packages (1) xkeyboard-config-2.45-1 Total Installed Size: 10,16 MiB Net Upgrade Size: 3,58 MiB :: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y (1/1) checking keys in keyring [##################################] 100% (1/1) checking package integrity [##################################] 100% (1/1) loading package files [##################################] 100% (1/1) checking for file conflicts [##################################] 100% error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) xkeyboard-config: /usr/share/X11/xkb exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. ``` The issue is most probably to the breaking build change upstream [documented in the release notes](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config/-/blob/master/ChangeLog.md?ref_type=heads#breaking-changes-2). # Additional info: I am one of the maintainers of the upstream project, but I do not run ArchLinux. I merely report an issue that was reported to me by an ArchLinux user, but they do not have an account here to post themselves.
