[arch-general] vim upgrade problem

[Samuel Baldwin]

For some reason, vim will only load one external colour file, the rest
it does nothing for. So, I tried to upgrade, but when I try to, I get
this:

arrakis^samtal# pacman -S vim
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets (1): vim-7.2.245-1

Total Download Size:    0.00 MB
Total Installed Size:   30.39 MB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
checking package integrity...
(1/1) checking for file conflicts

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

(I have just synced my package repositories.)

Here's the output of vim --version:
