[SOLVED] /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/zipp.py exists in filesystem

Just a note for others...

I received this error message when installing docker

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
python-zipp: /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/__pycache__/zipp.cpython-38.pyc exists in filesystem
python-zipp: /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/zipp.py exists in filesystem

I think I had zipp installed via pip previously and it was conflicting when trying to install the python-zipp package.

I resolved it by removing zipp using pip

pip uninstall zipp

and installing the python-zipp package using pacman instead

pacman -Syu python-zipp

python-zipp installed the same version pip had previously (3.1.0)
