Hi Its a conflict as both of those packages are broken in exactly the same way. Each should be installing in /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/<package-name>/test The packager should be able to help - regards gene

Thanks Gene, Just contact him directly? Or, should I open a bug or flag the package in some other way? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Temporary work-around was to remove scapy and python-scapy and then update. I e-mailed the maintainer about the issue. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hello, just as a note to all, you can forcefully install the package by appending the following flag to pacman: --overwrite '*' it will overwrite all conflicting files, be aware this is dangerous but can help! Polarian

Do NOT use --overwrite for this. If you have unowned files it can help, but don't use it to make a file owned by two different packages.
