Failed to commit transaction updating npm

Hi, I tried to upgrade my system with the latest updates but my installation failed to commit transaction (conflicting files).

Of the 361 packages that I tried to update/install/build I narrowed down the faulty ones, that are "node-gyp-8.4.1-1  nodejs-17.3.0-1  npm-8.3.0-1".

My pacman -Syu command produces this output:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (3) node-gyp-8.4.1-1  nodejs-17.3.0-1  npm-8.3.0-1

Total Installed Size:  41,11 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:       0,68 MiB

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I thought that I might remove manually this files, but I fear I'll break all my electrons app and nodejs dependency on the PC.

Thought and advice?

Thanks a lot
