Arch Linux - Even more errors - Howdy #941

Open Hamster1962 opened 4 months ago

Hamster1962 commented 4 months ago

I worry about Howdy, up until a couple of months ago it was nice and stable. Then suddenly, one of these three updates breaks it. image I currently don't have a fix for this so the three packages are ignored in pacman.conf to not allow updates. Slightly dangerous on Arch. Now today we have an AUR update for Python-dlib

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
python-dlib: /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/_dlib_pybind11.cpython-312-x86_64-linux-gnu.so exists in filesystem
python-dlib: /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/dlib/__init__.py exists in filesystem
python-dlib: /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/dlib/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-312.pyc exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Which fails also. I know the developers are mostly volunteers but Face Recognition give Arch a similar edge to Windows and I'm not going back to windows.

I've searched for similar issues already, and my issue has not been reported yet.

Linux distribution Garuda Linux:

Howdy version 3.0.0

Can someone please take a look
