The packages lightdm-flexiserver and lightdm-gdmflexiserver should conflict with each other:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/usr/bin/gdmflexiserver exists in both 'lightdm-flexiserver' and 'lightdm-gdmflexiserver'

Regards!

It looks like lightdm-flexiserver is an exact duplicate and shouldn't really exist. The other one looks more popular however so I guess I could just request mine for deletion.

gdmflexiserver can't be used as a conflicts because gdmflexiserver is not a real package, so that would only work if we all agree on providing this. I can list the other packages as conflits tho, but pacman is already doing its job catching that error.

Should also conflict with lightdm-flexiserver:

(1/1) checking for file conflicts                                                                                            [###########################################################################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
lightdm-gdmflexiserver: /usr/bin/gdmflexiserver exists in filesystem (owned by lightdm-flexiserver)

Maybe it should also provide lightdm-flexiserver as well as gdmflexiserver?

Thanks for maintaining!

It seems XFCE, Xscreensaver and a bunch of other applications expect gdm's "gdmflexiserver" binary to exist in order to enable user switching. The workaround described in the wiki works fine, but I prefer having pacman manage these files. So I made it a package.
