[Solved] pacman 'Failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)'

Trying to install mpv and libwebp is halting the installation process. It previously did this when I was running -Syu. I went through and manually removed a number of packages to complete the Syu, and now that I'm re-installing mpv libwebp is repeating the issue. I may just end up removing libwebp again just to complete the installation but I figured I'd ask to see if there is something I'm missing while running the installation.

resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (3) ffmpeg-1:2.8.4-2  libwebp-0.5.0-1  mpv-1:0.14.0-1

Total Installed Size:  29.99 MiB

Re: [Solved] pacman 'Failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)'

I ran pacman -Qo on the 4 bin files and all of them returned the following.

error: No package owns /usr/bin/cwebp
error: No package owns /usr/bin/dwebp
error: No package owns /usr/bin/gif2webp
error: No package owns /usr/bin/vwebp
error: No package owns /usr/bin/webpmu

I'm going to run -Qo on the remaining files, rename them, then try to install mpv again.

EDIT: Well that worked. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
