The problem is the official arch linux tool 'fq' also installs a binary named 'fq' , https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/fq/

Maybe also let the authors of fq and nq know of this situation and see what happens?

Thanks for providing this PKGBUILD. I'm testing it and comparing it to batch/task-spooler/pueue etc.

In the meantime I just discovered that this tool, nq, conflicts with an official arch package. You should be aware of this and make the necessary changes to this nq PKGBUILD.

$ pacman -Ql  nq

nq /usr/
nq /usr/bin/
nq /usr/bin/fq
nq /usr/bin/nq
nq /usr/bin/tq
nq /usr/share/
nq /usr/share/licenses/
nq /usr/share/licenses/nq/
nq /usr/share/licenses/nq/COPYING
nq /usr/share/man/
nq /usr/share/man/man1/
nq /usr/share/man/man1/fq.1.gz
nq /usr/share/man/man1/nq.1.gz
nq /usr/share/man/man1/tq.1.gz

So it wants to add those 3 binaries 

nq /usr/bin/fq
nq /usr/bin/nq
nq /usr/bin/tq

The problem is the official arch linux tool 'fq' also installs a binary named 'fq' , https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/fq/

fq /usr/
fq /usr/bin/
fq /usr/bin/fq
fq /usr/share/
fq /usr/share/doc/
fq /usr/share/doc/fq/
fq /usr/share/doc/fq/README.md
fq /usr/share/licenses/
fq /usr/share/licenses/fq/
fq /usr/share/licenses/fq/LICENSE

Usually this kind of clash happen when developers, naively, choose very short names for their tools.

The usual solution for AUR maintainers is to adapt and rename the tools being installed.

I would suggest for example something like

nq /usr/bin/nqueue-fq
nq /usr/bin/nqueue-nq
nq /usr/bin/nqueue-tq

Please also coordinate with the "nq-git" AUR PKGBUILD maintainer, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nq-git . No need for reduplicated work.

Thanks in advance
