I've had this conflicting files issue before when running Pacman -Syu and one thing I could try is to overwrite the files. But before that, is there anything else I should do to avoid any breakage? Any help to troubleshoot this would be appreciated
If you need any additional logs, I'll be happy to provide them

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?

Re: Conflicting files wxwidgets-gtk2 when yay -Syu

Hey well the patch worked! However, what I did is a bit concerning:
I applied the patch by downloading the PKGBUILD.  Then I made a .patch file and ran patch -p1 to patch the PKGBUILD and ran makepkg manually. Later on, I tried yay -Syu again without doing a cleanBuild but it still failed with the same error. Then I decided to rerun yay -Syu but this time I excluded wxwidgets which made pacman be happy. I checked both yay's and the manual version to see if the package version and name were the same. They were.
Now though yay still reckons I'm on the older version and still prompts me to upgrade. What do I do to tell yay think I've updated?

Re: Conflicting files wxwidgets-gtk2 when yay -Syu

and ran makepkg manually

Also "-i" or did you pacman -U the built package manually?

Re: Conflicting files wxwidgets-gtk2 when yay -Syu

Ran pacman -U once makepkg was done
Does this thing I did count as a partial update? I mean, the package is updated, it's just yay that's apparently not aware that I installed the new version. Also when it prompts me to cleanbuild, I've tried all options and they all still fail.
