pacman has the --overwrite option for this. You can see an older news regarding this problem and adjust the wording accordingly:
https://archlinux.org/news/libxml22912-6-update-may-require-manual-intervent... This is my revised draft:
The `waydroid` package prior to version `1.5.4-2` (including `aur/waydroid`) creates byte-compiled Python 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 overwrite 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 update by running the following command: ```sh pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/lib/waydroid/tools/\*__pycache__/\* ``` -- Best Regards, George Hu / Integral
