pacman has the --overwrite option for this. You can see an older news

This is my revised draft:

The `waydroid` package prior to version `1.5.4-2` (including `aur/waydroid`) creates byte-compiled Python files (.pyc) at runtime which were untracked by pacman. This issue has been fixed in 1.5.4-3, where byte-compiling these files is now done during the packaging process.

As a result, the upgrade may overwrite the unowned files created in previous versions. If you encounter errors like the following during the update:

```
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
waydroid: /usr/lib/waydroid/tools/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-313.pyc exists in filesystem waydroid: /usr/lib/waydroid/tools/actions/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-313.pyc exists in filesystem waydroid: /usr/lib/waydroid/tools/actions/__pycache__/app_manager.cpython-313.pyc exists in filesystem
```

You can safely update by running the following command:

```sh
pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/lib/waydroid/tools/\*__pycache__/\*
```
