reading “Build Files Exist” seems to suggest the package already exists, but it’s not, I think.
So what is “CleanBuild” and what do the options mean: [N]one [A]ll [Ab]ort [I]nstalled [No]t Installed
And is meant by (1 2 3, 1-3, ^4) ?

“Build files exist” means that yay already downloaded and the packages files. I think this might be the case if for example you already tried to install the package but aborted before installing it.
“Clean build” means that yay will re-download and re-build the package’s files.
The numbers are examples for choosing to which package apply which option. ( “1 2 3” selects packages 1 2 and 3. same goes for 1-3, but in this case you are specifying a range. ^4 means all the listed packages but no. 4). this is an example output, and in you case you can ignore it given that you only have 1 package.
I think pressing enter for the default is okay, otherwise type “A” and then enter
1-3 a range? So that means: None, All, AND Abort? But that’s contradicting.
I’m using a relative fresh install of manjaro gnome though, I never installed this ivpn package before
Uh, no. That’s just me not being very clear. Where it says “1. ivpn (build files exist)”, that should be a list, but you only have one package. The numbers refers to that list’s elements.
I’m also going to edit my previous comment because i got something wrong.
Then i don’t know why you’re getting this message, but i think it’s pretty harmless. Just to be sure, before installing press " A" and then enter. This way you’ll be sure to install the correct files.
