alpm-octopi-utils error

Hello guys. I am very new to linux and so I've just installed artix (weekly iso, community edition qt) and was trying to upgrade everything with pacman -Syyu. but I am keep running into failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) error, which tells we that alpm_octopi_utils.h ibalpm_octopi_utils.so libalpm_octopi_utils.pc already exists and (owned by alpm_octopi_utils). I really don't know how to solve that so I would really appreciate some help. thanks

The issue is still there, but this time I got a prompt to ignore the packages, and continue updating my system.
