Can't update with pamac: some files already exist

hey there,

when i do a pamac update i get the file conflict error:

- gcc13: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib/libgcc_s.so existiert bereits im Dateisystem (gehört zu gcc12)
- gcc13: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 existiert bereits im Dateisystem (gehört zu gcc12)
- xmldiff: /usr/bin/xmldiff existiert bereits im Dateisystem (gehört zu python-xmldiff)
- xmldiff: /usr/bin/xmlpatch existiert bereits im Dateisystem (gehört zu python-xmldiff)

in the big list of packages to install, there are some messages like:

  gcc-ada                                       14.1.1+r58+gfc9fb69ad62-1   (Required By: gcc12)                    core      
  gcc-d                                         14.1.1+r58+gfc9fb69ad62-1   (Required By: gcc12)                    core      

i really dont want a full reinstall, like GCC12 preventing update suggests. Is it save to uninstall the packages, wich come after the »required by«? They are:

  • gcc12
  • afdko
  • pyside2
  • python-cached-property
  • python-glyphslib
  • krunner5

help would be appreciated

Remove the packages listed in the parentheses at the end of the line.
These are AUR packages and your responsibility
and also not essential for your system.
Should you really need them, install them again after the update.

You could try using pacman -Syu
It doesn’t deal with AUR.
