[SOLVED] Update problem for k3b
Yesterday I gave the usual pacman -Syu command to update my system, and I saw that an upgrade for k3b, named k3b-1.65.0alpha1-1, was available. But the update process stops giving this error message (I translate it from Italian):
error: impossible to complete the requested operation (files in conflict)
k3b: /usr/bin/k3b is already present in the filesystemDoes anyone has the same issue?

Re: [SOLVED] Update problem for k3b
What package owns k3b? (pacman -Qo /usr/bin/k3b)

Re: [SOLVED] Update problem for k3b
What package owns k3b? (pacman -Qo /usr/bin/k3b)
It says: error: no package contains /usr/bin/k3b

Re: [SOLVED] Update problem for k3b
I don't know if this is of any importance: I use KDEmod, but the k3b package is from the Arch repo. It worked perfectly until now....

Re: [SOLVED] Update problem for k3b
It appears pacman somehow lost track of which package owns k3b. As no package owns it, it is safe to delete that file and continue upgrading.
