You can create replacement for the missing files and then reinstall:

sudo touch /var/lib/pacman/local/breeze-icons-5.84.0-1/desc

sudo pacman -S breeze-icons

Then update the system.

still the same error

sudo rm -r /var/lib/pacman/local/breeze-icons-5.84.0-1/
sudo pacman -S breeze-icons

If this doesn’t do the thing, a post from old forum might help:

sudo pacman -Syyu --overwrite '*'
