[SOLVED] Reinstall go with existing pkg

Hi everybody,
Yesterday octopi didn't start
I wanted to upgrade yay before updating octopi.
On pkgbuild of yay i had problems with go, so i decided to try update it.
For making a reinstallation, i have uninstalled go, but i forgot to uninstall all dependency (sudo pacman -R go).
And since thoses actions, i cannot reinstall go, because of existing pkgs.
I get the message:
go: / usr / lib / go / pkg / tool / linux_amd64 / vet is already present in the file system
Errors have occurred, no packages have been updated.
Is any way to force reinstallation of go?

Re: [SOLVED] Reinstall go with existing pkg

What were your problems with "go" exactly? What did you try to do?

For proper handling of the error read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … )%22_error

Re: [SOLVED] Reinstall go with existing pkg

A problem compiling yay with the command "makepkg -si". I encountered an error that seemed to be related to "go" who was not up to date.
Obviously there must be a specific procedure to reinstall "go".
Fortunately, I had a system image of my arch partition, so I reinstalled it.
This subject is solved.
