DetailsSummary and Info: --force states that it is deprecated, but overwrite appears to not function in the same way
Steps to Reproduce: I produced this error with the --asdeps option, but I cannot be sure if that flag causes it or not at this time. An example is below. % sudo pacman -S libutf8proc --overwrite --asdeps resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages... Package (1) Old Version New Version Net Change community/libutf8proc 2.1.1-2 2.1.1-4 0.00 MiB Total Installed Size: 0.32 MiB Net Upgrade Size: 0.00 MiB :: Proceed with installation?

Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: You're right, it doesn't function the same way and isn't supposed to. Read the man page.
