[SOLVED] Problem with xdg-desktop-portal set up.

Hello. I installed arch and run sway window manager so I'm having waylands issues. I built xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-wlr from source but I now see that I need flatpak installed, however when trying to install flatpak with pacman I get the conflicting files error. Do I manually have to delete all the conflicting files?

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with xdg-desktop-portal set up.

I built xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-wlr from source

Why? They are both in the main repos.

however when trying to install flatpak with pacman I get the conflicting files error.

That's what happens when you install programs outside of pacman.

Do I manually have to delete all the conflicting files?

Yes. I'd delete everything that you built from source and use the provided packages instead.

Yea to be honest I'm not sure myself why I built from source. Anyway thanks for confirming my fears.
