I got the above when initiating pacman -Syu.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

You can force the upgrade (-f). May be a good idea to move those files to something else (e.g., append .old) so you can diff them and the new ones just in case as -f will overwrite them.

Hmm.. I tried moving the problem files elsewhere and rerunning pacman -Syu and everything seems to be working fine.
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: cairo: forcing upgrade to version 1.4.6-2
warning: ffmpeg: local (20070505-1) is newer than extra (20070131-1)
warning: jdk: local (6-2) is newer than extra (6u1-1)
warning: jre: forcing upgrade to version 6u1-1
Does the above messages got anything to do with it?
Its probably because I disabled testing server once.
Thanks for the reply

Yup. Did you install jdk & ffmpeg from testing by any chance? If not, it could be the repo you're using.
Glad you got it working, post back if any problems arise.

When you've conflicting files, always do pacman -Qo <conflict files> first to find out which package owns them.
About jre/jdk that's normal, 6u1 came after 6.
About ffmpeg, you indeed still have the version from testing : you can do pacman -S ffmpeg to get back version from extra.
