[solved]python-pip fileconflict with __pycache__ folders

When I ran pacman -Syu I'v got the following errors.

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

There are no other files in theese __pychace__ folders.Should I try to remove the __pycache__ folders manually and try again?

Re: [solved]python-pip fileconflict with __pycache__ folders

Yes but only remove those specific __pycache__ folders. This happens when the maintainer doesn't include the pyc files in the initial package and adds them later.
