The dovecot.conf file was created by you previously, hence why the
update is failing. The new dovecot package provides dovecot.conf (I
think because upstream provides it).

Pacman gives an error in situations like this, as it well should, since
I doubt anybody wants their configs wiped out. As such I don't think
this is even a bug.
