This happened to me as well.

Yes we know that already…
you can simply uninstall the package. or just wait !! i do revert the changes packages will get updated soon.
or remove the two files:

sudo rm /etc/skel/.bash_profile /etc/skel/.bashrc

and update again

[joekamprad]

But we create a BUG with this… the two files are owned by package bash, I was not aware that it put the configs in /etc/skel…
It will not harm anything but … I failed to check this beforehand.

So please wait for the fix.

I didn’t know about this topic, went berseck mode, just erased the entire folder /etc/skel and updated again…
It’s working, but please wait for the update as mentioned above by joekamprad, what I did may not work for you and it could cause bigger problems.

I did like this because I had a snapshot to fallback to in case of problems…

[joekamprad]

sudo pacman -Syu --ignore=endeavouros-skel-xfce4 will let you update fixed package will be there later on…

I logged in as superuser and copy/pasted that into the terminal, and I still got in response the exact same error message as before

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

endeavouros-skel-xfce4: /etc/skel/.bashrc exists in filesystem (owned by bash)

[karoofish]

@MetallicRed It’s …–xfce4 in your case, as per your error message. For example mine is --ignore=endeavouros-skel-i3wm.

[joekamprad]
