self update Arch Linux desktop has been for a month. Today I tried to update my Arch Linux system, and encountered an error “Error: failed to commit Transaction (conflicting files) STFL: /usr/lib/libstfl.so.0 exists in Filesystem”. It appears that Pacman was unable to update a library that already exists on the file system (/usr/lib/libstfl.so.0). If you have the same problem, here’s a quick solution.

resolves the “error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)”

in Arch Linux
There are three ways to do

.

1. Simply ignore the STFL library that caused the problem during the upgrade and try to update the system again. See this guide to learn how [1] can be ignored when updated.

2. Override this package with the command: 



    

  1. 

    $ sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/lib/libstfl.so.0
    

    2. 



 3. Manually delete the STFL library and upgrade the system again. Make sure that the target package is not dependent on any other significant package. You can check if there is a conflict by going to Archlinux.org. 




    

  1. 

    $ sudo rm /usr/lib/libstfl.so.0
    

    2. 



 now, try updating the system: 




    

  1. 

    $ sudo pacman -Syu
    

    2. 



 I choose the third method, directly delete the file and upgrade the Arch Linux system. It will work! 


 hope you found this article helpful. There’s more good stuff. Stay tuned!
