So, today, when upgrading, the old xorgproto and the new libX11 conflict. So, I get this:

I thought nothing of it at first, but then I wondered if it had really upgraded then removed xorgproto, and it turns out that pkg check -B xorgproto tells me that many files are missing. I do not think it impacts me because xorgproto seems to be only build time files (headers and .pc files) but still, installing the new version and then removing the old seems wrong.

yeah I have identified that one, I can reproduce, but I do not understand yet why it failed

[mat813]

Well, it is doing things the wrong way, it should first deinstall the old xorgproto and then install the new one ;-)

[bapt]

yes I got that part ;)
