The problem seems to be that in the old package /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm is a symlink to another directory which contains these files. In the new package, this symlink is replaced by a directory. pacman thinks that there are file conflicts, while there are none. I cannot find a viable workaround for this.

Workaround: -Uf.

He knows this- by workaround he meant "way of building/installing package that the conflict doesn't happen". -f *sucks*. We should never have to use it in the normal course of action. -Dan
