I am installing 64-bit version of MSYS2 on my sistem. After installing, I run MINGW64 for the first time following the instruction on this official website. However, after I run pacman -Syu, I got this message:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
 mingw32 is up to date
 mingw64 is up to date
 msys is up to date
:: Starting core system upgrade...
warning: terminate other MSYS2 programs before proceeding
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: msys2-runtime and catgets are in conflict. Remove catgets? [y/N]

It said that msys2-runtime and catgets are in conflict and asked me if I want to remove catgets. Any suggestion of what should I do in this step?

  • `pacman -R catgets` `pacman -R libcatgets` helped me according to https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/1147#issuecomment-373946815 – Bernhard Döbler Apr 02 '18 at 19:57

You should answer y to remove catgets. The msys2-runtime package is very important and you should want to upgrade it to the latest version.
