[SOLVED] Recent update to LLVM fails to commit transaction due to conflicts

Today when doing my routine daily update to my system, I received an error message prior to the update and the installation of the llvm-libs-18.1,8-4-x86_64 and the llvm-18.1.8-4-x86_64 failed when checking for file conflicts.

Here is the  end of the output from pacman -Syu:

Code: [Select]
(10/10) checking for file conflicts                                  [######################################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
llvm: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem (owned by filesystem)
llvm: /usr/lib64/libLLVMTestingAnnotations.a exists in filesystem
llvm: /usr/lib64/libLLVMTestingSupport.a exists in filesystem
llvm: /usr/lib64/libllvm_gtest.a exists in filesystem
llvm: /usr/lib64/libllvm_gtest_main.a exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I've done a bit of research into how to resolve this issue, but since it's the llvm, I'm a bit hesitant to go around simply deleting libraries and reinstalling them. I wanted to know if this issue is related to something I did in the past in regards to the llvm (I believe llvm  was part of the initial install though) and whether or not I should simply reinstall it, or if there is a more in depth work around necessary for this?

Thanks for any insights and/or help. Always appreciate it.

EDIT: Solved, just had to wait for further updates. Thanks as always devs.
