error: duplicated database entry
by Lynnux from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5K0QX)
Code:sudo pacman -Syu
error: duplicated database entry 'something'I can't update my system (endeavorous Gnome) or install any packages, everything i tried to, it prompt "duplicated database entry".
I saw quite a lot of this issue when googling, but i have not read any one of the webpage explained what happened and why it happened (under what condition this occurs) and how can i manually fix the problem .
Since it is duplicated database entry, than i can just simply delete the duplicated one right ?
Is it the duplication occurs in this location ?
Code:/var/lib/pacman/localI saw here got a python script that does the job, but since i don't understand the script, i want to understand the problem and manually fix it.

Thanks.
