that comes as I try to update,
I could delete those files and rerun the update,
just wanted to hear what other users would
say …

Well since what gets updated depends on what you have installed, what can we say?
Not happening on my installation (updated 6 hours ago).

so I will try solving this by deleting those conflicting files, I was just
about to share this.

I guess, it should work out to delete those, so may the force be with me :slight_smile:

EDIT: There might be some more elegant solution but deleting turned out to work for me.

Perhaps it is a conflict?

pacman -Q | grep glib

Looks like one of the packages needed to conflict or replace another one, but did not (faulty PKGBUILD)
