I flashed v3-hdmi-rpi4-arm-box-20250317.img.xz image in my PiKVM V3 HAT and got the following error while running pacman -Syyu.

You should be using pikvm-update and NOT pacman for managing updates. There are some subtle conflicts that the pikvm-update script takes care of that pacman doesn’t know anything about.
