[Solved] yay -Syu wiped /bin directory

Hi,
after a yay -Syu  my /bin directory only has these files:
Code: [Select]
pylupdate5  pylupdate6  pyrcc5  pyuic5  pyuic6
Is it safe to assume that a package which owns one of these files did this?
I sometimes use --overwrite="*" because i accidentally  installed some python packages with sudo pip. I guess i learned my lesson regarding the overwrite flag. Is this 100% my fault for using --overwite with Syu or should this not happen even when this flag is applied?
I updated these packages today:

I'm currently recovering my /bin directory, i mainly made this thread to find out what exactly went wrong.

EDIT 1:
This Error appeared on reinstall:
Code: [Select]
(1569/1569) checking for file conflicts                                                  [###################################################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/bin exists in both 'filesystem' and 'python-pyqt5'
/bin exists in both 'filesystem' and 'python-pyqt6'
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
 -> error installing repo packages

EDIT2:
Oh, just an hour ago the version for both packages got bumped
Code: [Select]
python-pyqt5-5.15.7-2 -> python-pyqt5-5.15.7-2.1
python-pyqt6-6.3.1-2 -> python-pyqt6-6.3.1-2.1

I guess this issue is resolved now.
