[Solved] Error about putty after pacman -Syu

Hello again,

I using putty for communication with a electronics device.
The package is installed true the repository.

Every time i update my system now(pacman -Syu) i get this error:

(106/106) controleren van conflicterende besta...  [######################] 100%
fout:fout bij het uitvoeren van de transactie (conflicterende bestanden)
putty: /usr/share/applications/putty.desktop bestaat in bestandssysteem
putty: /usr/share/pixmaps/putty.png bestaat in bestandssysteem
putty: /usr/share/pixmaps/putty.xpm bestaat in bestandssysteem
Er zijn fouten opgetreden, geen enkel pakket geüpgraded.

Here's the google translate version:

(106/106) checking conflicting properties ... [#####################] 100%
error: error in executing the transaction (conflicting files)
putty: /usr/share/applications/putty.desktop exists in file system
putty: /usr/share/pixmaps/putty.png exists in file system
putty: /usr/share/pixmaps/putty.xpm exists in file system
Errors have occurred, not a single package has been upgraded.

Anyone know why this hapens?

Don't use google translate, prefix your commands with LC_ALL=C when posting to the forums.

What is the output of pacman -Qo /usr/share/pixmaps/putty.png  ?
On my system

ewaller@turing ~ 1092 %pacman -Qo /usr/share/pixmaps/putty.png
/usr/share/pixmaps/putty.png is owned by putty 0.70-2
ewaller@turing ~ 1093 %

Re: [Solved] Error about putty after pacman -Syu

What did you do?  Did you use the --force switch? (which, in this case, is probably the correct thing to have done)  did you do the pacman -Qo before or after you fixed the problem?

What I was probing for was how you found yourself in this state to begin with.

Yes i did what the wiki described:
pacman -Qo
Then renamed the files.
Than a -Syu again .
Than deleted the renamed files.
