In order to update hyprland-git, I need to install hyprwayland-scanner-git. But when I try to install it, pacman says that it failed to commit a transaction.

I followed the arch wiki, but unfortunately, the file in question is owned by hyprwayland-scanner, so I’m not sure how to proceed.

    hyprwayland-scanner-git is also an AUR package, so pacman can’t install that. You need to install it with some other means, like makepkg, yay, paru etc, before installing hyprland-git.

      I tried installing it with yay. It’s just that when I install it with yay, it gives me a conflict with the existing pacman package and asks me if I want to remove the pacman package. When I say yes, it gives me the above error, and when I say no, it doesn’t let me install hyprland-git

        Can you post the full output from the installation command? It must have given some other error at some point.

          Nope, that was the only error. But I fixed it thanks to the comment above.
