pacman -Syu failed while installing linux-firmware package, because FS run out of space. Transaction was aborted.
I freed some space, pacman -Syu worked well. I removed linux-firmware (pacman -Rs linux-firmware), it worked without any issues.
Now I can't install it back:
pacman -Sy linux-firmware
[...] # lots of those:
linux-firmware: /usr/lib/firmware/vpu_d.bin.zst exists in filesystem
linux-firmware: /usr/lib/firmware/vpu_p.bin.zst exists in filesystem
linux-firmware: /usr/lib/firmware/vxge/X3fw-pxe.ncf.zst exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
What can I do now? --overwrite "/usr/lib/firmware/*", or remove the listed files in conflict with a script?

Don't use -Sy, either -S or -Syu when installing a package.

You're right, my mistake, but I did it within 5 minutes from full Syu, so this is not the reason.

This is what --overwrite is for, yes.

solved:
pacman -Syu linux-firmware --overwrite "/usr/lib/firmware/*"
Thanks for the confirmation, I'm always afraid in this situations that I'll blow up my system.

Overall integrity check:
sudo LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files'
And please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
