[arch] Package Conflicts

[Doug Jolley]

Hi --

My ultimate goal is to create a customized rescue CD based on Arch.  I am
attempting to use archie-scripts to generate the CD.  When I go to install
the archie-scripts package the install aborts because of conflicts (xinitrc
and packages.txt are in both archie-module-xfce and archie-scripts).  I have
encountered this problem before but successfully skirted around it one way
or another.  I have decided that it's time to deal with the issue.  Google
pointed me to a suggestion to use the "force" option to pacman.  I'm fairly
confident that that would work.  However, I note that the pacman man page
really discourages the use of this option.  So, my question is:  What is
considered to be the "correct" procedure for dealing with this issue?

Thanks for any input.
