[solved] subversion and apr-util-iodbc from aur

Hi,
apr-util-iodbc from AUR http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27040

Answer 1

apr-util-iodbc should have a versioned "provides" in its PKGBUILD, as stated in the comments on AUR. It also needs "conflicts=('apr-util'), instead of "replaces"; no AUR PKGBUILD should ever use "replaces" anyway.
