Cannot remove package parley

Full system upgrade is failing due to a conflict with "parley-17.04.1-1", so I'm trying to remove it manually with:

pacman -R parley

I'm getting this:

warning: could not fully load metadata for package parley-17.04.1-1
checking dependencies...

Packages (1) parley-17.04.1-1

error: could not remove database entry parley-17.04.1-1

I already tried refreshing packages, forcing database update, and other common solutions posted in arch forums.

Thanks.

Re: Cannot remove package parley

What is the output of

# pacman --debug -R parley
$ ls -la /var/lib/pacman/local/parley-17.04.1-1/

Edit:
Also the systems entire pacman.log or the log from the installation of parley onward.

Indicates a corrupted pacman database, if you show us the output of the commands loqs asked for, we might be able to hazard a guess what the problem is.

You can repair the corruption by removing that directory and then recreating the database entry with `pacman -S --dbonly parley`, after which you should be able to uninstall it properly.
