[SOLVED]
Hello everyone,
I’ve been trying to update octopi 0.16.2-2, but I keep getting the following message:

Blockquote looking for conflicting packages…
:: octopi-0.16.2-2 and alpm_octopi_utils-1.0.2-7 are in conflict. Remove alpm_octopi_utils? [y/N]
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: octopi-0.16.2-2 and alpm_octopi_utils-1.0.2-7 are in conflict
→ error installing: [/home/grgaud/.cache/yay/octopi/octopi-0.16.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst] - exit status 1 > Blockquote

Does anyone here know how I can remedy that?

I wish you all a happy new year!

If I remember correctly got this message to , and just typed y instead of hitting the Enter key.
The worst case scenario is installing Octopi again i thought, but everything went well.

It’s telling you exactly what you need to do. If you say no it’s not even going to attempt to upgrade the package. :wink:

Just to clarify what happened, and why you got this message, this is the latest comment on the AUR page from the maintainer of the octopi package:

This package has been revised to bundle the alpm_octopi_utils library to prevent problems caused by rebuilding out of order.
