conflicts when updating:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
python: /usr/lib/python3.12/__pycache__/ast.cpython-312.pyc exists in filesystem
python: /usr/lib/python3.12/__pycache__/dis.cpython-312.pyc exists in filesystem
python: /usr/lib/python3.12/__pycache__/inspect.cpython-312.pyc exists in filesystem
python: /usr/lib/python3.12/__pycache__/opcode.cpython-312.pyc exists in filesystem
