I was also hit by the error about conflicting files when upgrading to 0.21.1 today. Previous response indicated disabling debug would help, but I didn't want to disable it in /etc. In case anyone else runs into it and needs more specific instructions, I did these steps to get upgraded:

• Removed the kopia-ui-bin-debug and kopia-bin-debug packages (pacman -R)
• Downloaded the PKGBUILD files for kopia-ui-bin (and kopia-bin separately) with "yay -G kopia-ui-bin". This creates a kopia-ui-bin directory with the PKGBUILD file in it.
• Based on this forum post, I edited the PKGBUILD file and added the following line after the sha256... lines:

options=('!debug')

• Then I used "makepkg -si" to install kopia-ui-bin, and the debug package was not installed

So I guess that's the workaround for not building debug for kopia-ui-bin. Not sure if it's an option to add that to the PKGBUILD file that is distributed to everyone.

I don't really understand the original conflict and why the install of the debug packages started to fail in the first place, though.

@exu thank you. After removing the debug option, the upgrade succeeded.

@GPT debug builds are produced due to the default option in /etc/makepkg.conf as you can see here

You could disable building debug packages. I don't know how I could influence this in the package unfortunately.

@A.Thomsen I just ship the binary build provided by Kopia and this looks like a bug affecting multiple distros, so it should be fixed upstream. You can just copy the .desktop file and make the modifications there to get it working for you.

I seem to be hit by this bug. Not sure if it should be fixed in Kopia or in the launcher/aur script. https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/4589

I tried updating my system with yay but got the following error:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/d2/d2e1496c5242ffc76ddf4150ef989198f0ddb3 exists in both 'kopia-ui-bin-debug' and 'kopia-bin-debug'

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Removing 'kopia-ui-bin-debug' and 'kopia-bin-debug', then retrying the upgrade resulted in the same error. What should I do?

Yeah, the CLI is not included with this package. But you can install kopia-bin alongside this package to get the CLI as well.

According to Kopia's official website [0], KopiaUI comes with the CLI version as well. But it doesn't seem the case for this package. Could you please confirm this is the case? If not, could you let me know how should I start the CLI version?

@RealStickman

Ok I tried what you suggested and took it a little further and got it to work. Here is what I did in case anyone is wondering and has this issue also.

1. I chmod'd all the files in the dir "/opt/KopiaUI" 0755: "sudo chmod 0755 *"
2. It didn't like that for the sandbox file so had to correct it: "sudo chmod 4755 /opt/KopiaUI/chrome-sandbox"
3. It still had an issue so then I found this -> https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/1883 <- in which they point out a missing entry for "localhost" in your "/etc/hosts" file, which I found an error similar to what is described in that issue post. So once I added the localhost which honestly should have already been there, it started up just fine.

Thank you!

@sp1d3rmxn what permissions do the files have? It should be 0755 root:root for all the .so files and kopia-ui itself.

@RealStickman You are correct the file is there so I tried:

Removal with "sudo pacman -Rcnsu kopia-ui-bin" and "pikaur -Rcnsu kopia-ui-bin" (just in case), double checked /opt/KopiaUI/ dir was removed after each command as expected then reinstalled and same error. Also tried adding it to the path via export and still the same error.

Also tried running it directly from the /opt/KopiaUI directory with "./kopia-ui" and getting the same exact message... which is really odd because that is unusual within itself.

Any other things I could try?
