[arch-general] pacman bug? (can't replace dir with file)

[Damjan Georgievski]

Is this a known pacman bug (or a feature)?
I tried to upgrade python-fuse and it errored out.
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/fuse_python-0.2-py2.6.egg-info is a
directory in the old package, but a file in the new package.
