Solve "error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)" In Arch Linux
======

Its been a month since I upgraded my Arch Linux desktop. Today, I tried to update my Arch Linux system, and ran into an error that said **“error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) stfl: /usr/lib/libstfl.so.0 exists in filesystem”**. It looks like one library (/usr/lib/libstfl.so.0) that exists on my filesystem and pacman cant upgrade it. If youre encountered with the same error, here is a quick fix to resolve it.
### Solve “error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)” In Arch Linux
You have three options.
1. Simply ignore the problematic **stfl** library from being upgraded and try to update the system again. Refer this guide to know [**how to ignore package from being upgraded**][1].
2. Overwrite the package using command:
```
$ sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/lib/libstfl.so.0
```
3. Remove stfl library file manually and try to upgrade the system again. Please make sure the intended package is not a dependency to any important package. and check the archlinux.org whether are mentions of this conflict.
```
$ sudo rm /usr/lib/libstfl.so.0
```
Now, try to update the system:
```
$ sudo pacman -Syu
```
I chose the third option and just deleted the file and upgraded my Arch Linux system. It works now!
Hope this helps. More good stuffs to come. Stay tuned!
Cheers!
