pacman -S kernel26 fails

Hi,

since today the following error appears when I try to update the kernel:

[root] [/home/jojo] pacman -S kernel26

Targets: kernel26-2.6.18-4

Total Package Size:   17.8 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts...
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.18-ARCH/modules.alias: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.18-ARCH/modules.ccwmap: exists in filesystem

  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.18-ARCH/modules.usbmap: exists in filesystem

errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

What's this?

I've upgrated to mkinitcpio a couple of days ago, does this have something to do with the error?

Thanks for help,

Re: pacman -S kernel26 fails

Hi,

forcing the install resolved my problems, thank you
I'm just hoping the next reboot hasn't any evil surpises for me
