Re: python-yaml: file exists in filesystem

Have you by any chance been installing python packages not using pacman?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: python-yaml: file exists in filesystem

I usually use yay instead of pacman, but I don't see how it would affect this,

Maybe I installed something with pip, but I don't recall.

Re: python-yaml: file exists in filesystem

If you did that as root,  it would cause the issue by installing files in /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ that are not tracked by pacman.
Have you tried removing the package with pip?  Otherwise see Pacman#%22Failed_to_commit_transaction_(conflicting_files)%22_error.
