Hello all!
I am reasonably certain that this is a bug, but I do not know where to report bugs in the Community Editions. Maybe someone here can point me in the right direction.
I will briefly state the problem and solution first for anyone who comes across this on Google; a full bug report is below.
Setting
Fresh install of i3 community edition with proprietary drivers on a GTX1650.
First thing I do after booting the new system is a pamac update.
Expected Result
Update of some 200 preinstalled packages.
Actual Result
Pamac fails to find some files (see below) and aborts the entire operation. I am unable to update or install any packages.
Workaround
Manually reinstall the packages that pamac does not like. This resolves the file conflicts. The relevant commands are:
pamac reinstall mhwd-nvidia
pamac reinstall linux59-nvidia
So much for the short version. For the developers, here is a full bug report:

How to Reproduce
- On a system with an NVIDIA GTX1650 (that’s a card from 2019, so it is definitely supported), install the i3 Community Edition with proprietary drivers.
- Boot the new system.
- Issue a
pamac update(or apamac installof any package).
Expected Behavior
Pamac updates all packages.
Observed Behavior
Pamac downloads all packages, then fails the file conflict checks as follows:
Checking keyring... [250/250]

Workaround
Manually reinstall mhwd-nvidia and linux59-nvidia to resolve the file conflicts.
Is there any other place I should report this? Or is this not a bug and I somehow managed to screw up the installation?
