Hi,

I am using some packages in python3.2 which create a __pycache__ folder. These
folders is routinely blocking my updates and I have to remove the folders
manually. Are any other among you facing the same problem? If yes, can I
automatize it somehow?

Thanks

Hey,

these pycache folders *should* be created with a python setup script
[0], which *should* be called in the PKGBUILD during buildtime, so they
*should* be part of the package. If not, python creates them during
runtime and messes up your system...


So the cleanest way is to write a setup script and send it to the
maintainer.


The quicker way is to write a simple script, the checks your file system
for disowned files. See: [1]

Or use pacmans -f switch to overwrite them.

If, of course you know what you're doing. -f can do *bad things* otherwise....

Thanks for the clarification. I would try to write a script for the package and
send it to the maintainer.

pacman -f seems a bad option. It seems hazardous to make it a habit. :-(
