#[SOLVED] How to deal with conflicting /boot for two installations of Artix Linux

Hey, I want to install the same kernel and same ucodes for two installations, however, they share the same /boot partition, so I get an error when trying to install it on the second installation, is there a way to tell pacman to force ignore this and install the package anyway? Or perhaps use a different file name for where the kernel/ucode is installed to?

what is the error?
i don't think the problem is that much with pacman

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
amd-ucode: /boot/amd-ucode.img exists in filesystem

#

I want to tell it to install the package anyway, preferably without having to delete it every time

#

wait no I'll only have to delete it once because it gets replaced when updating right?

#

but updating one system and not the other can cause weirdness

you might be able to just ignore the file
i forgot how to do that

#

if you update frequently on both installations it might be fine

it's the --overwrite flag btw
just be careful with it
