Strange error while updating

[Jonass]

Hello
Getting a strange error while updating. Never seen this before and can’t find anyone else posting any similar.
Sorry for swedish in the log, but i hope you see the error anyway. Otherwise i have to try change the locale again, but it was a mess last time i did that =)

I translated the above messages, and based on those 2 messages from the OP, I would take a look at:

3. 1 “Failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)” error

[mishmosh]

The conflicting files are from the package “pahole” (extra repo) or “pahole-git” (AUR)

I’m guessing that you have the AUR package installed, if so try uninstall it and see if the conflicts go away.

$ pamac search pahole
pahole-git                                         1.13.r6.g568dae4-1     AUR 
    Various DWARF utils

    Pahole and other DWARF utils

[varikonniemi]

just type

LC_ALL=c

before the command to get english output

This seems like it has something to do with conflicting files. And this

…along with this

Seems to confirm it. Which means you’re trying to install, or use, or upgrade both at the same time, while you can obviously not.

So, you need to decide which one you want, and only one, and install that.

For pahole-git, which is an AUR package:

pamac build pahole-git

For pahole, which is in the community repository:

pamac install pahole

Tip:

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

Thanks for the help! Reinstall this pahole package solved the problem. And thanks for the tip with LC_ALL=C, had no idea about this =)

Now everything is up to date again!
