Packer duplicated package error

Hello, i have installed packer as packager manager of AUR but before i knew it exists i had installed snap and datagrip using it. Then i uninstalled datagrip on snap to install it using the packer but in the final process of installation using packer I am getting this error:

error: ´datagrip-jre-2021.1-1any.pkg.tar.zst´: duplicated package.

How do i remove it ?

Re: Packer duplicated package error

the last commit to packer[1] was in 2016, if you're really using that you need to drop it asap .

Or are you using pacaur [2] ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: Packer duplicated package error

Are we talking abot packer the AUR helper or about packer, the tool for creating identical machine images for multiple platforms from a single source configuration?

If the further, you can uninstall it or anything you installed with it using pacman.
