Re: pacman -Syu -->error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

What did pacman -Qo thePath/theFileNameInTheErrorMessage say?   You need to Search Query for what package owns that conflicting file

Re: pacman -Syu -->error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

Pacman will not parse symlinks anymore. If you're trying to replace a dir with a symlink, you'll get this message.

Do some reading about bind mounts.
