pacman upgrade issue

On a recent upgrade including the mkinitcpio switch I receive this error:

checking for file conflicts...
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  kernel26: /boot/System.map26: exists in filesystem

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: pacman upgrade issue

see who owns them by doing pacman -Qo /path/to/file. If its kernelheaders force the install (-f) and reinstall kernelheaders.
