failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) python-slugify

Hello
I was trying to update my AUR packages and got the following errors:

yay -Syu
...
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] 
(2/2) checking keys in keyring                     [###########] 100%

error installing repo packages

And when I try to remove python-unicode-slugify I get:

sudo pacman -R python-unicode-slugify 
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing python-unicode-slugify breaks dependency 'python-unicode-slugify' required by opensnitch-git

So  python-unicode-slugify is owned by itself while it is a dependency of opensnitch. The correct owner should be  opensnitch?
According to wiki I should file a bug report. Am I missing something?

Re: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) python-slugify

python-slugify 4.0.1-1 in extra is not the same as python-unicode-slugify
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … aec75dfb69 updated opensnitch-git to depend on python-slugify instead of python-unicode-slugify

Re: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) python-slugify

Thanks for confirming that. It solved by uninstalling opensnitch, uninstalling python-unicode-slugify and reinstalling opensnitch.
