[solved] lib32-sqlite upgrade fails due to man page owned by sqlite

I've attempted to do my usual system upgrade with

pacman -Syu

and ran into a file conflict:

(9/9) checking for file conflicts                                                                                [####################################################################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
lib32-sqlite: /usr/share/man/man1/sqlite3.1.gz exists in filesystem (owned by sqlite)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Any advice?

No need, it was a bug that's already been fixed.

Hi,

I'm having a similar issue on my system:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/usr/share/man/man1/sqlite3.1.gz exists in both 'sqlite' and 'lib32-sqlite'
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
 -> Failed to install layer, rolling up to next layer.error:error installing repo packages

Doesn't seem to be fixed?

Works fine here, you're trying to update to what version? you should be getting lib32-sqlite-3.48.0-2-x86_64 if it's not then your mirrors are outdated and you should switch that to one that's more up to date.

EDIT:
didn't see this was solved before posting, since I have the same issue, starting a new thread.

I still can't upgrade, getting the same error as OP.
I updated my mirrorlist to only US mirrors and then:

$ sudo pacman -S lib32-sqlite
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (1) lib32-sqlite-3.48.0-1

Total Installed Size:  1.44 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:      0.01 MiB

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] 

sqlite is still showing the wrong version for update.

any suggestions?

See post #5. "only US mirrors" means nothing.
