/usr/local/share/man should be a symlink
stat /usr/local/share/man
/usr/local/share/man -> ../man
Something replaced the symlink with a directory and that change is preventing the upgrade. Did you run some shell script or make install as root?

Ah that makes sense. Yesterday I installed some rofi themes by running a shell script as root. Do you know any way I could fix it?

pacman -Qkk filesystem
See if any other symlinks have been changed.
Then it depends on if you want to keep the rofi theme. The easiest option would be to remove the directory and its contents with:
# rm -rf /usr/local/share/man
Then when pacman installs the updated filesystem package it will create the symlink in its place.

Thanks! I deleted /usr/local/share/man and the filesystem now updated successfully.
