Hey Benjamin, I saw this error too... But since reflector was really a one time thing i just did -Rns. --force shouldn't break anything. -- --Szu-Han Chen (sjchen.com) O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org

Don't force it, it is from running reflector as root, just remove the directory

The recommended way is to get the conflicting file out of the way (eg move it to a backup) and do a normal update, *without* --force. It's somewhere in the wiki...
