Re: Gimpshop insall problem

The conflicting file is actually owned by gutenprint. If gimpshop provides all of gutenprint's files, then it should have been built with the appropriate conflicts= and provides= options. If it only provides some of them, however, I'd say the least worst thing to do is pacman -Sf, as arooaroo suggests - and then make sure gimp printing is still working. Either way, I'm sure Snowman would like to know - he'll probably see this thread, but post a comment for him anyway.
