Cannot install mpd because of pipewire

I tried to install mpd today by running sudo pacman -S mpd but i got this output:

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

...

The above list goes on and on about files being owned by pipewire, i already read the wiki about this kind of issues but it does not offer a solution for a case like this, i've also checked for bugs in the pipewire gitlab repo but nothing, any idea how to solve it?

Re: Cannot install mpd because of pipewire

Some how you've ended up with a partial upgrade. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … nsupported

If 'pacman -Syu mpd' doesn't fix it, try a different mirror.
