hello, i've been a few days trying to install arch, and playing a little with it, i really dont know what im doing still, but, now im trying to install kitty, and what i have seen to need to make it work its to install gtk3, while trying to install it i get this error

Its in spanish, so it basically says that all of that things already exist on the filesystem, and i dont know how to solve it, if someone can help, thank you so much, and sorry for my english

I read that right now, but i still dont understand what should i do, should i rename all the files and delete them or is there an easier way to do it?

You clearly have not read the link Scimmia pointed you to. Do not expect to be spoon fed. If you don't understand what is in the wiki, we will certainly help address questions about it - but do not claim you have read it when you obviously have not. And do not expect us to retype onto these forums answers that are clearly spelled out in the wiki.

I did read it, i didnt understand the last command, because when i tried it it still gave me the same output, im just trying my best man, i dont know why you have to be so rude, im just asking a question, if you dont want to answer it dont do it, but being rude doesnt make you a better person

I'm not being "rude" - I'm trying to help you learn. If you tried "the last command" and still had errors, then post that command and output in code tags and we can help. Did you not consider how your response to Scimmia could be perceived as "rude"? He provided you exactly what you needed, but instead of making use of it, you flaunted the fact that you hadn't even bothered looking at it (yet).

Your previous posts said nothing of running said command: you asked whether you should manually remove every listed file or whether there was a better approach. The linked section literally says "Instead of manually renaming and later removing all the files..." and then it gives the better approach. So you quite literally asked the question that is explicitly answered in the information you were already provided: you clearly had not read it - now it appears you have, so we can move forward to address what might have gone wrong in your attempt to fix this.

I'm a rude jerk, so buckle up.

Since I'm however not mean, we'll better check

LC_ALL=C pacman -Qikk libjpeg-turbo

and then

sudo LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files'

since I guess at least jpeg-turbo has lost the database and that might indicate more issues.
With the above, you've hopefully learned how to produce output in the forum-mandated language, the next thing you're gonna learn is to post that as text, not a picture of the text.
You'll then learn to edit your initial post and remove that picture, because it violates two forum rules at once.

And when you're done learning all of that, you can learn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming) but DO NOT USE THAT here until we figured what caused the conflict.
