Hi there. I am having some file conflicts when upgrading the licenses package, and I don't understand why? Here is the error:

But the files it is complaining about belong to "licenses" already.

/usr/share/licenses/common/GPL2/license.txt is owned by licenses 2.4-1

So my question is, why are this errors hapening?

I need to rebuild the package to make pacman happy- it can't be completely sure about the symlink structure unfortunately, so I'm going to organize it like it was before. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14921 -Dan
