If you want to restore our old negligent "eye-candy" behaviour, you can do the following (pseudo-code): if(isdir(local_conflicting_stuff) && alpm_list_find_str(oldpkg->files,local_conflicting_stuff) { continue; /*no conflict*/ }

I would say go ahead with the current code for the 3.2 release. If it turns out to be really problematic, we can always use the above code for 3.2.1. (again, it is a matter of choosing which case is more important between fileconflict003 and fileconflict004)
