[SOLVED] Unable to install blueprint-compiler with yay

Hello everyone,

When trying to install the blueprint-compiler via yay, there are conflicting packages.
First, my environment and the versions:

```
> uname -r
6.9.6-arch1-1

> yay -V
yay v12.3.5 - libalpm v14.0.0
```

Now, installing in debug mode:

```
> yay -S --debug blueprint-compiler
...
debug: checkdeps: package blueprint-compiler-0.12.0-2
debug: returning error 33 from alpm_db_get_pkg (../lib/libalpm/db.c: 316) : could not find or read package
debug: found cached pkg: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/blueprint-compiler-0.12.0-2-any.pkg.tar.zst
debug: setting download size 0 for pkg blueprint-compiler
debug: sorting by dependencies
debug: started sorting dependencies
debug: sorting dependencies finished
debug: returning error 33 from alpm_db_get_pkg (../lib/libalpm/db.c: 316) : could not find or read package
```

You can see there is some conflict with libalpm. Already searched everywhere, no clues. Any advice?

blueprint-compiler is in the extra repository, Can you install it using pacman -S? If so then the problem is with yay and has nothing to do with blueprint-compiler.

@skunktrader - same error when using pacman:

```
> sudo pacman -S --debug blueprint-compiler
```

Results into:

```
debug: checking possible conflict: /usr/share/pkgconfig/blueprint-compiler.pc
debug: found file conflict /usr/share/pkgconfig/blueprint-compiler.pc, packages blueprint-compiler and (filesystem)
debug: returning error 47 from _alpm_sync_check (../lib/libalpm/sync.c: 1292) : conflicting files
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
```

same error when using pacman

Same?  That's completely different from what you shared in the first post.  But in neither post did you post the complete output.

Please post the complete output of `pacman -Syu blueprint-compiler` in bbcode tags (not markdown).

Ummm, too late, I've been using the overwrite option which helped.
```
sudo pacman -S gobject-introspection --overwrite "*"
```

Re: [SOLVED] Unable to install blueprint-compiler with yay

And that's 1) with a completely different package, 2) still in attempted markdown no bbcode, 3) still without a full upgrade (as I suspected a partial upgrade may be part of the problem), and 4) doing something this community's best practices as outlined in the wiki explicitly say not to do.  Good luck with that.

In any case, if you're satisfied with that outcome, please mark the thread as [SOLVED] by editing your first post.

All seems to work, found nothing to be broken. So, closing.
