System update issues - Conflicting files

Hi,
First off, i have been using Manjaro for almost 6 months now and I love it! Thank you to the community that creates and supports it! I am getting an error when I try to run the update that became available late last week. It seems to have something to do with NPM, but I’m not savvy enough to decipher the logs. Could anyone please help me out and give me a recommendation?

Thank you!
