]]>So I tried replacing the option and the result is:
pacman --overwrite -S MYPACKAGE
error: invalid option '--overwrite'
pacman -S --overwrite MYPACKAGE
error: no targets specified
man pacman says overwrite requires a <glob> argument - what is that?
The Arch Wiki still advises to use --force btw (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pacman)
Can you help me?
