This only makes sense if you have a symlink somewhere there. So it's /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu or /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0.

Just test this with $ file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0, one of them should be a symlink, and then check which package own the symlink (can be none if created by an install script).

I did then remove the .cache file and tried to install again: error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) insync: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

@mpei /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0 is a directory and it's not a problem if multiple packages own it.

Also, I'm pretty sure that you didn't run this on /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0 but on /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0.

$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache?

It would be great to check if the symlink / directory is there before creating it.

Stepping in to say I've seen your comments, I just haven't had a chance to address them.

The symlink we're creating was a stopgap for ...well, its absence. We can definitely remove it or do it differently if it's now a problem.

@mpei which package own /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache on your system except insync? this should be solved properly with a gdk-pixbuf-compat package.

I can remove the cache file. But it seems to have a conflict with that entire folder: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.

Output: error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) insync: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

@mpei Check which package owns the file. If multiple packages need this then it should be moved to its own gdk-pixbuf-compat package so both insync and the other offending package can depend on it.
At worst, you can add the file path to pacman.conf NoExtract and NoUpgrade and then create the symlink manually.

edit: And you might be able to avoid adding the file by exporting the environment var GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE=/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache.

Anybody else getting that conflict?
