Hi.

On Arch 64-bit, up to date (as of about 12 hours ago), I just did:

sudo pacmatic -Syyuv


Here's the result:

Tried pacman -Syyuv.  Same result.

Rebooted.  Same result.

Did sudo reflector --verbose --country 'United States' -l 200 -p https
--sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist,  then pacman -Syyuv.  Same
result.

So, this seems to be the relevant section:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
util-linux: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/mount exists in
filesystem
util-linux: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/umount exists in
filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Any idea what the problem might be?
