Pacman update led to conflicting packages failure

Below you will find the relevant log of a failed update.

I chose yes the first time and was led to another bad update later which caused me to restore a snapshot (I love BTRFS now)

Any idea on how to better go about updating?

I am new. I can be molded. If there is a better place or format for posting; please let me know. Thank you!

I would start the update again with:

sudo pacman -Syyuu

Then confirm removal of the conflicting package precached-git. This is assuming precached-git was not installed as a dependency of another package. That hopefully is not the case.

Welcome to Garuda. You sound just like the type of easily malleable user we like around here. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Thank You!

The extra y and u flags seemed to have helped.

For future readers that may come across this:

The extra y flag forced a refresh of all package databases.
