upgrade: package owned by ...

I can't upgrade my packages because I have this error:

... many lines ...
libnma-common: /usr/share/locale/ug/LC_MESSAGES/libnma.mo exists in filesystem (owned by libnma-indicator)
... many lines ...

What I can do?

I canẗ remove it...

pacman -R libnma-indicator
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing libnma-indicator breaks dependency 'libnma' required by gnome-shell
:: removing libnma-indicator breaks dependency 'libnma-indicator' required by nm-connection-editor-indicator

Where did libnma-indicator and nm-connection-editor-indicator come from? You either need to update them for the new package setup or you need to replace then with the normal versions.

I think they are from AUR ... I'm installing only from ofic. repos or AUR ... But they are not here anymore...

network-manager-applet-indicator
nm-connection-editor-indicator

but still:

libnma is in extra, so

pacman -Syu libnma

may prompt you to replace libnma-indicator with the official package. Failing that, removing libnma-indicator without dependency resolution (pacman -Rdd libnma-indicator), then running the above command may fix things. You may want to have an alternative way of configuring your network handy in case removing libnma-indicator causes network manager to cease working, alternatively do this while chrooted from a liveCD.

Looks like they were removed from the AUR almost 3 years ago as being redundant, as the official package had indicator support. So as I said, replace them with the repo versions, just add them to the end of the -Syu command.

I had to remove another package (gcc10) ... but this remove/replace finally helps. Thank you.
