That particular error isn't complaining about conflicts between files, it's saying that, specifically, lprng as a package conflicts with cups, ie. in the lprng package, it says conflicts=('cups')
If I know, but if I cannot overwrite with -Sdf, why I'm able to do it with -Adf or -Udf?
As far as I know, pacman -A doesn't calculate per-package conflicts - some difference in the codebase between -A and -U.
As far as I know, pacman help pages show same messages:
pacman -hA
-d, --nodeps skip dependency checks -f, --force force install, overwrite conflicting files
pacman -hU
-d, --nodeps skip dependency checks -f, --force force install, overwrite conflicting files
pacman -hS
-d, --nodeps skip dependency checks -f, --force force install, overwrite conflicting files
-U and -A share code, -S does not. The help instructions aren't going to change, that is just boilerplate text. What should be the desired behavior? -Dan
