[pacman-dev] Pacman failing with existing symlinks on the install path

[Peter Kehl]

Hi Allan,

Thank you.


We do not support treating symlinks to directories as directories.  They
> are considered a file.  My guess is Manjaro provides the /opt directory
> in its filesystem package, so changing it to a symlink manually is
> invalidating your pacman files database.
