FYI, I have previously installed other things into /opt (android studio)
Now when I try to run:
sudo pacman -S maven
I get the following output at the end:
(1/1) checking for file conflicts [############################################################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
maven: /opt exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
So does this mean I have to delete /opt to install maven??

Have you done something dumb like make /opt a symlink?
Offline
yes i've done something dumb like that... it's on a mount

Mounting is fine, symlinking is not. A managed dir like /opt needs to stay a dir.
