Hi, thought the devs and other Qtile users should be aware of this.
On the latest update, I got this:
(20/20) checking for file conflicts [----------------------------------------] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
garuda-qtile-settings: /etc/skel/.bash_profile exists in filesystem (owned by bash)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I fixed this by going to /etc/skel and renaming .bash_profile to something else before updating.
Old bash profile
#
# ~/.bash_profile
#
[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
New bash profile
#
# ~/.bash_profile
#
[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc
export BROWSER=firedragon
export TERM=alacritty
export MAIL=thunderbird
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"
export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0"
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity
export ALTERNATE_EDITOR="micro"
export EDITOR="micro"
export VISUAL="micro"
Considering the contents of old vs. new, this looks pretty safe to do, but correct me if I’m wrong. 
Hope this helps.
