wine: fonts exist in filesystem

My pacman -Suy includes wine-0.9.19-2 but nothing is updated, because of 'file conflicts'.  The 5 error messages are of the format
wine: /usr/share/wine/fonts/coure.fon: exists in filesystem
Sure the fonts exist.  But should that stop the upgrade (of wine AND everything else)?

I believe that I can get past this problem e.g. by erasing those font files before trying the update, but the errors may be an indication of something fundamentally wrong - in my system, or in the recent wine packages (9.19-1 and 9.19-2).  Which is it? and is there a better way to fix the problem (than erasing files)?

Pacman -Sf wine

will force exisitng files to be overwritten during the installation, so it's a better way than erasing the fonts.

It's a packaging bug - report it.
