Conflicts are not written in the packages.

I tried to install the groups blackarch-scanner, blackarch-cracker, blackarch-recon and blackarch-forensic in one go with pacman. I already had the blackarch-wireless group installed. It didn't work because there were conflicts between the packages.

• python2-normality and inquisitor are using /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tests/__init__.py and the .pyc and .pyo of that same file.
• aquatone and dawnscanner have so many conflicting files that I will not list them.
• aquatone and ridenum share the file /usr/share/licenses/LICENSE.txt, which is a shame, they shall name that file according to the licence they use.
• python2-cement and python2-roguehostapd are using /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/examples/__init__.py and the .pyc and .pyo of that same file.
• vhostscan and openlp are using /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tests/helpers/__init__.py
• ruby-colorize and yawast have files in common too in folders /usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/gems/colorize-0.8.1 and /usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.5.0/specifications
• python2-py-bcrypt and python2-bcrypt are using the same directory: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bcrypt/.

Suggestions of fixes:

• All packages that provide python libs available on pypi should use the same file tree as there.
  • python2-normality
  • inquisitor
  • python2-cement
  • python2-roguehostapd
  • python2-py-bcrypt
• vhostscan should add a prefix to its test directory.
• yawast should not pack ruby-colorize with it. It should have it as a dependency or explicitly provide it.
• aquatone and dawnscanner should not pack ffi with them. Instead, they can depend of ruby-ffi from the community repository.

@nils-van-zuijlen Yes, we're aware of that. We will work on a fix in the next months, we just don't have enough time right now. Maybe someone will work on that and help us.

The workaround right now, which should be used carefully is: pacman -Syu --needed --overwrite '*' <blackarch-group or whatever you want>.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

The test/example directories shouldn't be renamed but rather removed. If possible upstream should be contacted to change the path too, so that it doesn't conflict if they are included by mistake.
