Do you have any recomendations on where to look?

Could you pls install eww-git and give me feedback if that eww works? im confused, i updated the eww binary 2 days ago, and in some of my pcs works and not in others..
paru -S eww-git
Tried to install it , got the following error: error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
eww-git: /usr/bin/eww exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
With root access , i deleted the file then tried paru again ,, this time worked but this has not restored F1 key binding menu. Also the Widgets >usercard wont do anything. Ill keep digging
OK i figured it out i think.
I tried to reinstall eww from AUR using Yay.. thought ill give it a try, it installed but that did not fix above issue.
When trying : eww -c "${HOME}"/.config/bspwm/eww daemon, it would complain with >>
error_handling_ctx > second time provided was later than self
the event tries to save to a log file in /home/user/.cache/eww/ however the file is empty
I deleted the log file and then re-tried to issue the eww command above. It worked and now F1 works and right click Widgets>User card/Calendar or Music Player all pop up as intended.
A corrupted log file can cause so much problem ??
I hope this may help you with some of your PCs
Only issue i have now is the that F1 Key bindings menu comes up but it is squashed and unreadable. I will look at the CSS and see if i can fix it.

Yes i had to recompile in the other laptops eww and it works. I need to investigate why the precompiled binary isnt working, its easy if you only download the binary from my repo and move it to PATH, as my installer did but now new people installing my dots will need to compile it, I will close the issue now :)
On Manjaro works good
FYI - Happened again when a recent update had run. So seems every time a System update gets executed the /home/user/.cache/eww/log file gets corrupted. Deleting it restores functionality
