Error Running Pacman:/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

I encounter an error running pacman. It seems a file already installed is being installed again or something. I could just delete the old file perhaps then run pacman again?

I found this bug post . It recommends:

$ pacman -Syuw ##to download but not install and upgrade anything

$ rm /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt ##to delete the old file

$ pacman -Su ##to install and upgrade the packages

[donato@archdesktop ~]$ sudo pacman -Syuw
