Support AUR

kolourpaint is in conflict with kdelibs4support or something. I haven’t found anything about it on Manjaro forums. Here’s pacman’s compaint:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
kolourpaint: /etc/xdg/colors/40.colors exists in filesystem (owned by kdelibs4support)
kolourpaint: /etc/xdg/colors/Oxygen.colors exists in filesystem (owned by kdelibs4support)
kolourpaint: /etc/xdg/colors/Rainbow.colors exists in filesystem (owned by kdelibs4support)
kolourpaint: /etc/xdg/colors/Royal.colors exists in filesystem (owned by kdelibs4support)
kolourpaint: /etc/xdg/colors/Web.colors exists in filesystem (owned by kdelibs4support)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I didn’t need kolourpaint because I prefer pinta. I removed it and completed the update: sudo pacman -R kolourpaint

Manjaro KDE.

kdelibs4support is an AUR package, so you should be able to safely remove it.

Your post has been moved to a dedicated topic.

Info:- You can remove a package and it’s (unused) dependencies with:

sudo pacman -Rns <package>

Note that the use of software sourced from the AUR is officially unsupported by Manjaro. If the AUR absolutely must be used, it is recommended to switch to the Unstable branch, which is the closest match to Arch (stable).

Adopting this habit can also help prevent problems such as the issue you encountered today.
