[SOLVED] DaVinci Resolve installation error from yay

I'm trying to install DaVinci Resolve using yay, but I'm getting a file conflict error. Before this, I tried installing it from the official website, but I uninstalled after the app wouldn't launch (which I think might have to do with this error).  Even when I use the --overwrite option like it says to do, I get the error.

My first thought was to delete 75-davincipanel.rules and 75-sdx.rules, but I don't know if that's a good idea.

Re: [SOLVED] DaVinci Resolve installation error from yay

Check output of

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/75-davincipanel.rules
pacman -Qo /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/75-sdx.rules

Edit: as per the PKGBUILD:

# Remove udev rules (The official installer does not remove these files. This leads to the conflict "exists in the file system".)

Meaning you should just manually remove them if --overwrite does not work. Note that yay may not necessarily pass --overwrite argument to pacman and that may be why it's not working.

Solved, thanks!
