Hello,

Trying to do a complete system update, I get:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) cups: /etc/cups/printers.conf exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Certainly that file does exist, it probably has to in order to make my printer work.

But why

- is this an 'error' - does it block the update

???

And

- What do I have to do to enable the system update ?

And

maybe pacman could be a bit more informative in such cases ?

Ciao,

Please see the front page news. There are instructions regarding the CUPS update. :)
