From your answers, I don't think you read my question before giving the the RTFM dismissal.
I read (and answered) the question that is the subject of this thread. The lengthy details of how you got to ask yourself this question don't interest me much, so I admit I just skimmed through your message. That is also why I replied off-list: to avoid polluting the list; replying to my reply on the list defeats the purpose.
The question is "Can I do something in the PKGBUILD to tell pacman - if the file is already there -> overwrite it?"
To the best of my knowledge, there is no way of doing that, except of course overwriting the file via the install script. -- Gaetan
