Hi. My two cents on the issue: Please avoid top posting. Well IMO this would be a reason to write a feature request for the aur-helper you're using, in fact I guess there are helpers that check for existence of installed packages. What I don't know is if the AUR ID number will be redirected on merged packages, which could help implementing replacing / we-changed-things-on-aur features. I don't think automatically adding replaces or stuff like this will help because the PKGBUILD is something we don't want to alter through code in AUR. cheers! mar77i
