[arch-general] Upgrade problem

[Phil Dobbin]

Hi, all.

I'm a newcomer to Arch Linux so excuse my ignorance.

I attempted to update yesterday (pacman -Syu) & I got this message at 
the end of the update:

'(121/121) checking for file conflicts 
[#################################################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
filesystem: /bin exists in filesystem
filesystem: /sbin exists in filesystem
filesystem: /usr/sbin exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.'

Can anybody tell me what it means & how to go about fixing it (I've got 
Arch running on a VPS).

Many thanks,

Cheers,

     Phil...
