packages are also installed via [Pacman or Yay](#arch-linux-pacman-and-yay).
In this case the global Version has to be changed to `system` or the package installed to the
non-system Python version.
#### Error `exists in filesystem`
This section is based on a
[reddit post by 194668PT](https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/17jempk/pacman_exists_in_filesystem_errors/).
If an error shows up that describes that a file of a package `exists in filesystem` usually a
permission/owner error happened.
This can happen when running `pacman -Syyu`.
To update the package either way the following command can be used.
`<package name>` should be exchanged for the package that throws the error.
```sh
sudo pacman -S --overwrite "*" <package name>
```
