I just upgraded to the [staging] repo because packages I use are rebuilt...

Doing a "pacman -Syu" gave a conflict as expected.  Did not test that
"pacman -Syu --force" failed, because it was on my only working system
at the moment.

The followed the instructions above.  Rebooted at the end for good
