Pacman -Syu will not update [SOLVED]

I am unable to get my system to update! It is spitting out a message
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
rav1e: /usr/lib/librav1e.so.0.6 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I used the command:
sudo pacman -Suy --overwrite usr/lib/rav1e.so.0.6
What am I doing wrong? I thought this was marked as "solved"

Please post the full output from the command you are running along with the command itself.

The name of the file is “librav1e.so.0.6”, not “rav1e.so.0.6”.

Re: Pacman -Syu will not update [SOLVED]

No, the OP put the wrong pattern into the overwrite - "Suy" is godless heresy and morally wrong and logical nonsense… but it'll still work exactly as "Syu"

Did I do this properly by editing post by putting [SOLVED] in subject line?
