Devs,
I was surprised trying to install a python-tqdm package to get the error:
(2/2) checking for file conflicts
[######################################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
python-tqdm: /usr/bin/tqdm exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
The package is there:
$ l /usr/bin/tqdm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 206 Jul 8 2021 /usr/bin/tqdm
I check with pacman to find the owning package -- and there is none:
$ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/tqdm
error: No package owns /usr/bin/tqdm
How can I check how it got there and what may depend on it? I don't install
stray packages, and especially not to /usr/bin, so this is a surprise. I don't
want to just willy-nilly remove it either and have something unknown break.
Best course of action?
