Why all these questions in the package manager asking if I want to keep the old instead of the new?

Ive given you 3 or more differently worded guides. Besides the upstream documentation.

I guess the absolute simplest I can make it is …

sudo pacman -Syu manjaro-pacnew-checker
pacnew-checker

I do not endorse this software and would not use it.
(and have not reviewed it recently for better or worse)
But I really dont know what else to offer.

Heres the thread of it

Check and manage pacnew files

Maybe it won’t be the best approach but if anyone ha…

PS.
If you refuse to take the time to learn what this all means and, for example, simply overwrite all current files wit their pacnew counterparts do expect your system to break.
