Why?
Because in a few days time this problem will not be there anymore.
If you update your system and you get a message like
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
then you have 3 options.
- wait until a new update comes in – typically takes 1-3 days
RE-EDIT : In this case we need to intervene manually – see bottom of page – communication from Arch Linux. - work around the problem with pamac (unselect the issue)
- analyze and solve it yourself.
It is for option 3 that I made this article.
How do you analyze the issue?
Tip 1
In case of errors always check the Arch Linux website. A few hours later we get the news.
zita-resampler 1.6.0-1 -> 2 update requires manual intervention
The zita-resampler 1.6.0-1 package was missing a library symlink that has been readded in 1.6.0-2. If you installed 1.6.0-1, ldconfig would have created this symlink at install time, and it will conflict with the one included in 1.6.0-2. In that case, remove /usr/lib/libzita-resampler.so.1 manually before updating.
Tip 2
You can also install an application that will get you this information from the net. It is called pacmatic and is a tip from Diëggho Oliver, a user. It will stay in your terminal.
Install it with
sudo pacman -S pacmatic
and run it with
sudo pacmatic -Syu
It will take the options from pacman.
The same text appears now in your terminal.
