[arch-announce] waydroid >= 1.5.4-3 update may require manual intervention
The `waydroid` package prior to version `1.5.4-2` (including `aur/waydroid`) creates Python byte-code files (.pyc) at runtime which were untracked by pacman. This issue has been fixed in 1.5.4-3, where byte-compiling these files is now done during the packaging process. As a result, the upgrade may conflict with the unowned files created in previous versions. If you encounter errors like the following during the update: > error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) > > waydroid: /usr/lib/waydroid/tools/\__pycache__/\__init__.cpython-313.pyc exists in filesystem > > waydroid: /usr/lib/waydroid/tools/actions/\__pycache__/\__init__.cpython-313.pyc exists in filesystem > > waydroid: /usr/lib/waydroid/tools/actions/\__pycache__/app_manager.cpython-313.pyc exists in filesystem You can safely overwrite these files by running the following command: ``` pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/lib/waydroid/tools/\*__pycache__/\* ``` URL: https://archlinux.org/news/waydroid-154-3-update-may-require-manual-interven...
