Update backintime fail

During upgrade Back In Time would not install from the Chaotic repo.
(Moderator please delete if this is not Garuda related.)

What is best practice here? (I have been on Kubuntu for 7 years but new to Arch0based systems)
Remove backintime and re-install?
Hold?
Use some other command?
Thanks.

Ok, I shall try this.
The fail message gave the impression that configs would get over-ridden.
I suppose I could just re-import them anyway. Fingers crossed.

SUCCESS!

Thank you!

I will add this command to my toolbox.
