Yad-eos and yad are in conflict

When I run yay I get

:: Synchronising package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date

:: Starting full system upgrade...

Try to remove yad I get

checking dependencies...

I ran yay and removed yad as part of the update process. it all worked out OK!!

As I just found out yad-eos obviously is a dependency of eos-bash-shared. There seems to be no way circumventing this exchange if one wants to use some of the tools from the EOS Repository. The only thing would be to lock eos-bash-shared.

Edit : Pamac automatically switches packages.

Well, I will do your suggestion. I’m just afraid that removing yad will break something.

I just did sudo pacman -S yad-eos with the same result as mentioned above by @keithy. The process removed nicely yad with no other packages needing to be removed because of dependency on it.

we do currently using a patched version of yad yad-eos, it conflicts with the one from archrepo as it provides both yad so you should simple replace yad with yad-eos, till yad from archrepo gets fixed.

@Bryanpwo

yad-eos – The window size issue on our EOS tools has been addressed by shipping a forked and improved YAD version, the package our tools are based on, in our repo is called yad-eos.

I don’t think so. As far as I can see, nothing much has been changed. Just a little bit of code added. If problems will occur, going back is easy.

As @joekamprad already said, you should change yad to yad-eos.
yad-eos fixes one annoying issue with yad, the unnecessarily high window.

And if any problems occur because of it, please report to the EndeavourOS dev team as soon as possible!

[joekamprad]

the confusion starts because eos-bash-shared gets updated and it depends now on endeavouros/yad-eos instead of the default yad from archrepo what replaces community/yad
