Description:

After a recent update, I have a problem with my installation of Hamster - https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/hamster-time-tracker/. I cannot start the program and reinstalling fails due to a "failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)" error.

Hamster was initially installed with Pacman.
