Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

as you can see a lot of packages were update (410), and I don't know how to pinpoint this problem....
not sure if it's safe to just delete those files?

have you had this issue before?

Re: [SOLVED] error conflicting files

Run 'pacman -Qo /usr/include/uv-errno.h' to figure out what package it belongs to.
