After a long time (a year or so) I attempt to update my SDK that I had seeded from git-sdk-64 years ago. This time
pacman -Syu
stops with the error
:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

/etc/inputrc exists in both 'libreadline' and 'git-extra'
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I wonder how it is possible that this project can have both packages libreadline
and git-extra
when there are conflicting files. Is there some magic knob to twist so that I can install both packages? Where to investigate further?
As a temporary workaround I have removed package git-extra
, but now I cannot install it anymore due to the conflict.
(I would have posted this under build-extra, but it has no Issues section.)

This seems relevant: git-for-windows/git#4233
