LinHES

Not sure if this is happening due to pacman or due to PKGBUILD flags, but I have on several occasions run into dependent packages that will not install because /usr/info/dir already exists. For the moment, I've been forcing pacman to ignore these conflicts (pacman -Uf [pkg_file]), but this may just defer the problem for later.

Example of conflict:
