As mentioned in the titel the merge of this two packages prevents me from updating.
sudo pacman -Syu gives me the following output:

Manually updating/removing one of the two packages still gives me the Error that they are conflicting.
Does anyone knows how i can fix this problem?
Since the move to git, asp is deprecated. It downloads the latest version from svn (from before the migration), not from git (which now has the latest versions). A bug was open for a long time without any activity. I see it has been fixed in the meanwhile, but yeah, it does not give me confidence it will keep up with arch changes in the future. Pity, it was a nice project. Maybe some new developers could pick it up, who knows. (I would have helped, but my knowledge of rust is too limited for now).
Paru v2.0.0 has now dropped asp for the pure git approach.
Great! And now I realized one great feature I missed: “-Sss” to be able to immediately see and visit upstream URLs of packages. It’s so simple, but so handy when comparing different options.
It’s probably not too hard to switch from asp to pkgctl, I’ll look into it whenever I get some free time. Tho, there is the possibility of directly using git so there’s no outside dependencies whatsoever.
