Sweet-gtk-theme-dark and sweet-theme-dark are in conflict

[Dhairya]

Hello, today in the morning when I tried to update my system this error occurred

:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace sweet-theme-dark with chaotic-aur/sweet-gtk-theme-dark? [Y/n] n

Firstly I replaced the theme but then the icons were looking too basic and I don't want to use them, I don't want to switch my theme to sweet-gtk-theme-dark because it's too basic. So is there a way to have sweet-theme-dark instead of sweet-gtk-theme-dark and removing the gtk version so that they don't conflict.

I see in my pacman.log I installed sweet-gtk-theme-dark yesterday, removing of course sweet-theme-dark, with no side effects on the icons.
Maybe you could try using the "Apply new configs / Restore defaults configs" button in the Garuda Assistant

Type Y to proceed

Ops... I thought the OP already did it, since I read "Firstly I replaced the theme", so I assumed the first time he answered No and a second time Yes...

You’ll need to fix this. See:

Error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/…/{desc,files,mtree}: No such file or directory

Your local package database and/or metadata may become corrupted if an update process is interrupted, for example if you hard power off during an update. Metadata corruption will generally manifest in a message similar to: error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/$pkgname-$pkgver-$pkgrel/desc: No such file or directory error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/$pkgname-$pkgver-$pkgrel/files: No such file or directory error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/$pkgname-$pkg…

As already said, say “Yes”.

[Dhairya]

yup u are right

[Dhairya]

after proceeding the icons are changing I used time shift to get back

[jonathon]

@Dhairya

the icons are changing

What does this mean? It seems unrelated to the package conflict?

[filo]

But as far as I understand, sweet-gtk-theme-dark has replaced sweet-theme-dark, so you have to accept the switch, otherwise, you'd continue to use a no more maintained theme, I guess.

[Dhairya]

oh ok will have to go with the change to stay updated

Actually, zoom needs gtk icon theme to work, I deleted zoom but gtk theme was still left and was conflicting with the main theme after deleting all the files related to zoom it got sorted
