a change was made this week to 'nonsystemd/base', in order to reduce dependency conflicts, when installing a nonsystemd system, and when migrating to or from nonsystemd<->systemd - this has exposed several dependency conflicts which were not obvious before, and made them explicit
manual intervention will be required, if pacman has a conflict such as:
your-initfreedom and systemd-_ANYTHING_ are in conflict
if you get that error, see this redmine issue for the solution:
https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/2884
there is a separate, but related issue, where we are collecting examples of conflicts which were exposed by this change to 'nonsystemd/base' - these are evident by the following pacman error message:
systemd and openrc are in conflict (systemd-tools)
if you get that error, please add your specific details to this redmine issue:
