Rolling 16.01 Fails to Update [Solved]

New to Netrunner. Install was successful. Noticed updates available and launched a App title bar Discover from lower right portion of Tray. Discover reports 87 updates abailable but when I authorize the updates, it shortly fails with “File conflicts found”. No other messages

Update the the keyrings first
Open terminal:

sudo pacman -S archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring

Then run the rest of it

sudo pacman -Syyu

And post the error

First command seemed to work with no errors. Second command seemed to start and update process wihich ultimately failed. I captured the last lines after a list of Packages to update. The following is the tail end of the Second Command Results.

sddm: /etc/sddm.conf exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Please execute these commands in terminal

sudo pacman -Syy sudo pacman -S sddm --force sudo pacman -Su

And post the output.

This series appeared to work. I assume and please confirm that the Force command was what corrected the problem.

Great, glad that helped. Please put [SOLVED] in the title.
Thanks.

Not sure if I am closing this out correctly. If I did something wrong, Please advise.
Thanks for the help.

Find your 1st post in the thread and click Edit-Full edit, then put [Solved] in the title :slight_smile:

On the Reply, there was a Subject area that had the Title of this post. I attempted to Add [Solved] at the beginning but apparently it does not update the original Title. Please give instructions on how to change the title for proper closure.

http://forums.netrunner.com/editpost.php?pid=23408

Then look where it’s the title, that says “Rolling 16.01 Fails to Update”
just add (SOLVED) after it :wink:
