There is pacman-contrib-3.4.2-2 in [community] now that does not have 
pactree in it.   Anyone using [testing] will still face this issue, but 
those who upgrade pacman-contrib before pacman goes to [core] should be 
fine.

You could add conflicts=(pacman-contrib<3.4.2-2) to the pacman package, 
but that solution is just as ugly as requiring deleting that file...
