Hello,
Hi!
I am trying to reinstall an AUR app, Texstudio. This app was working
perfectly before I did yesterday a huge upgrade.
I understand I must rebuilt the app with the new libpoppler-qt. I built
it fine with "makepkg -i", but can't install as I get errors about files
already in my filesystem (in fact all Texstudio files).
When I installed first time Texstudio, I built it from source and I did
not a clean install, as pacman -Q doesn't return the app in the list.
How can I deal with this issue? Is there any way to force the install ?
Should I uninstall first Texstudio, and how? Can I just deleted all
existing files (mainly /usr/bin/texstudio, usr/share/texstudio directory
and /usr/share/applications/texstudio.desktop)? I tried by renaming them
to .bck, but there is still a problem with the desktop file.
TY for any help.
There are few way to go. The following seems to be the easiest for me:
Just build your package with makepkg (which seems to be done already if
makepkg tells you that files are already in your system). You should be
able to find it in directory you were building it (unless you set it
differently via /etc/makepkg.conf).
Than just use pacman to install package and force it to replace files
that are already in the system by adding the following options:
-Uf
And than full name and position of your package. You can find their
descriptions in pacman manual[1].
Hope this helps.

TY for your answer. It is what I did.
Now why do I need to sudo to start texstudio??
