[SOLVED] Pacman -Syyu returns npm file already exists

Dear fellows

Pacman -Syyu returns errors on a couple of packages.

Since most package updates run smooth, I've allowed myself to shorten the output using dots (..) to depict packages that run without problems.

[user@pc ~]$ sudo pacman -Syyu
...
(508/508) checking package integrity                                         [###########################################] 100%

error: failed to commit transaction (invalid or corrupted package)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Subsequently I tried

[user@pc ~]$ sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys

returning

what finally ended in ...a lot more errors here https://ptpb.pw/DlRV...after rebooting and repeating $sudo pacman -Syyu

Any idea what I'm missing?

Merry christmas to all of you

Did you install Node with pacman, or some other way?

Also, please edit your thread title and choose one that reflects your actual issue: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … ow_to_post

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman -Syyu returns npm file already exists

Solved thanks to your link. I can't remember if I installed Node on a particular way, however now I did this and got a clean system update:

$ sudo pacman -Rns npm
$ sudo rm /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/
$ sudo rm /usr/share/man/man1/
$ sudo pacman -Syyu
$ sudo pacman -S npm
