It does not solve it. It just slaps more DLLs on top. Package managers do.
Pacman's output "error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)" seems to disagree with you.
More info
Fine.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#%22Failed_to_commit_transaction_(conflicting_files)%22_error
Here's the pacman documentation explicitly stating that BY DESIGN it will not resolve a file conflict for you by overwriting files.
You either don't understand what's being discussed here, or you're trolling. Google it yourself if you want to know more.
This is conflicting files, it indeed means that different packages try to install same files(usually happens when same package have multiple names).
But this is different error from what you mentioned before. So I'm asking what dependencies conflict in your case? Libboost?
I ask what dependencies cause conflict. And why did you provide link to another error? Your comment has conflicting dependencies too.
