Solved: Cannot update system (error about conflicting files)
Posted: Wed Jun 14, 2017 8:21 am
Have an Arch system setup with PINN. Haven't booted in a few months. Decided to boot it up today and upgrade system, using command "pacman -Syu". Get error as shown below:
I've run this several times - always get error. Note that earlier runs downloaded the files OK, then err'd out (always with same message). This run didn't need to download the files, but still crashed with error.
How to fix???
Edit: Solved. Nice to see the system working. Exactly one response to the thread and it contained the answer. Well done!
