Just my $0.02, but bad idea.  I'd think it's quite possible that you'd 
wind up with stray files hanging around by forcing pacman like this. 
It's never a good idea to leave system/app files hanging around that 
pacman doesn't know about, since you can wind up with weird file 
conflicts down the road.
