the `numix` package simply comes from AUR and the two files I'm following (eg. versioned) `target/usr/share/themes/Numix/gtk-3.20/gtk.css` and `target/usr/share/themes/Numix/openbox-3/themerc` are already present in the tree and make some changes to the files supplied by default with the package.
note that the `--overwrite` option is not passed on to `pacman` and that the problem does not recur if I try to reinstall the package, even though the two files are still present.

Hi,
error: '--overwrite': could not find or read package
clearly shows --overwrite is passed to pacman . What you don't realise is that --overwrite requires a parameter like to-be-deleted-file.css . man pacman for details. There's another more important issue though : Why do you feel the need to run pacman -U through pacstrap instead of directly ? Lone_Wolf
