upgrading lib32-colord

Hi all,

I have lib32-colord installed as a dependency for another package on Arch 64. pacman is trying to upgrade it but errors with:

lib32-colord: /usr/lib/systemd/system/colord.service exists in filesystem

I usually know whether or not it's safe to remove the original file to fix issues like this, but I have no idea with this. It seems to me like lib32-colord will usurp colord if I let it proceed, but I'm not sure.

I tested systemd, but have since removed it and reverted to sysvinit, but I see that /usr/lib/systemd is used by dbus-core. Do I even need the directory - or is there a fix to the upgrade problem?

TIA

OK - done. Didn't think of it as a bug
