[SOLVED] : failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

Hi

I installed Arch with Vagrant:

vagrant init archlinux/archlinux
vagrant up
vagrant ssh

then inside VM

sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -S gnome

error

Partial updates are unsupported. Don't run pacman -Syy. It updates the databases without updating the entire system, and the second y is pretty useless anyway.

Update the entire system.
