> What should an ordinary user do when updating eclipse and he receives the message about conflicts and whether xulrunner should be removed? > > (I've just been escaping out of the attempted update with ctrl-C, on the assumption that this is a temporary situation and will soon be fixed. Is that a sensible thing to do, or is there some better way to proceed? It does mean that all the other updates are not performed, and that list is getting quite long now.) Wait for a new version of eclipse, or use pactree to figure out which package to remove: $ pactree -r xulrunner $ pactree -r eclipse Or you can ignore (-syu --ignore ...) the eclipse upgrade, but I believe that will leave it broken, which suggests you might as well remove it anyway. Or you can compile eclipse yourself, against the current xulrunner - this is probably difficult, and might be a waste of time anyway.
