Re: Geoclue2 upgrade problem [Solved]

I found the answer was to remove geoclue first
pacman -R geoclue
pacman -Sy geoclue2

Maybe the PKGBUILD needs to say geoclue2 replaces geoclue ?

I can only guess that geoclue was installed in the past as an optional dependancy or for a aur build, prior to switching over to arch32.

Re: Geoclue2 upgrade problem [Solved]

This does appear to be an upgrade of geoclue2, in that it was already installed alongside 'geoclue' apparently.  So the name of the binary target has changed I guess.  If this was intentional, then it now conflicts with geoclue so that should ideally be listed I believe, but maybe its changing name was an error?

I'm not sure, what the reasons are.
