Why is this??

[Ray Donnelly]

No idea!

What is the output from:

pacman -Qo /usr/bin/msys-stdc++-6.dll

$ pacman -Qo /usr/bin/msys-stdc++-6.dll
error: No package owns /usr/bin/msys-stdc++-6.dll

Weird, probably a one-time issue. Closing. New issues can be filed on GitHub.

[David Macek]

Maybe pacman -Syy would've helped.
