You can probably just delete it and any other file that conflicts for this. It was likely installed through `pip install -g` which is why pacman isn't tracking it or what package it's from, if you're replacing it with python-tqdm from the pacman repository, whatever installed it through pip shouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Thank you! I also found https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=285543 after I sent the e-mail. I've just moved it to tqdm-orphan and installed python-tqdm. The files are identical. It's some damn pip file that got pulled in from some app. I hate that insecure python software supply-chain. I attempted to remove it with pip and it gave a horrible warning: <quote> # pip uninstall /usr/bin/tqdm ERROR: Invalid requirement: '/usr/bin/tqdm': Expected package name at the start of dependency specifier /usr/bin/tqdm ^ Hint: It looks like a path. The path does exist.

If you wish to install a non-Arch-packaged Python package, create a virtual environment using 'python -m venv path/to/venv'. Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. If you wish to install a non-Arch packaged Python application, it may be easiest to use 'pipx install xyz', which will manage a virtual environment for you. Make sure you have python-pipx installed via pacman. note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages. hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification. </quote> I'll have to find and remove the rest of the trash that slithered into my box through pip. -- David C.
