I'm new to all of this...
I installed MSYS2 on a 64-bit Windows 8.1 machine just over
a week ago, then installed both
mingw-w64-i686-gcc and mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
so that I can start finding out about building 32- and 64-bit
binaries from C programs. So far I've only compiled and run
32-bit & 64-bit C and C++ test Hello World programs, but that
did work.
Tonight I issued: pacman -Syuu
from a MSYS2 shell, asssuming that this would bring my local
pacman databases uptodate, which I assume it did, but it also
listed a couple of "conflicting packages":
$ pacman -Syuu
:: Synchronising package databases...
mingw32 361.4 KiB 774K/s 00:00 [###] 100%
mingw32.sig 96.0 B 93.8K/s 00:00 [###] 100%
mingw64 361.2 KiB 2.37M/s 00:00 [###] 100%
mingw64.sig 96.0 B 0.00B/s 00:00 [###] 100%
msys is up to date
:: Starting core system upgrade...
there is nothing to do
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
Packages (2) mingw-w64-i686-p11-kit-0.23.9-1
mingw-w64-x86_64-p11-kit-0.23.9-1
and asked if I wanted them installed. I said no, then issued:
$ pacman -Ss p11
mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-p11-kit 0.23.9-1 [installed: 0.23.7-1]
Library to work with PKCS#11 modules
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-p11-kit 0.23.9-1 [installed: 0.23.7-1]
Library to work with PKCS#11 modules
msys/libp11-kit 0.23.8-1 (libraries) [installed]
Library to work with PKCS#11 modules
msys/libp11-kit-devel 0.23.8-1 (development)
Libp11-kit headers and libraries
msys/p11-kit 0.23.8-1 [installed]
Library to work with PKCS#11 modules
Does the "conflict" described by "conflicting packages" just
mean that there are now more recent versions available of
packages I already have installed?
How should i decide whether or not to install the new ones?
