Problems with conflicts with my last "pacman -Syu"

with my last pacman -Syu pacman downloads all the packages to be upgraded but when it finishes it gives me this error:

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts...
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  gstreamer0.10-python: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gst-0.10/gst/__init__.pyc: exists in filesystem

What it means and how can i solve? thanks all!

Yes but before you might want to do a

 pacman -Qo /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gst-0.10/gst/__init__.pyc

to see to which package, if any,  this file belongs to.

pacman -Qo says me that No package owns /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gst-0.10/gst/__init__.pyc.
what does it means?isn't it a little strange??

That probably means it belongs to by a python extension/module you installed directly.
