Bind installation problems

I'm trying to install Bind, basically just for the tools since I use dig a lot.  When I tried to install it I get the following conflicts:

[root@HIDDEN root]# pacman -S bind

Targets: bind-9.2.3-2

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts...
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  /usr/bin/host: exists in filesystem
  /usr/bin/nslookup: exists in filesystem
  /usr/man/man1/host.1.gz: exists in filesystem

Is it safe to just delete those since they'll get replaced by bind?  Anyone know of any place to just get the bind utilities? I know some distros have a bind-utils package.

Re: Bind installation problems

You have the host package installed.  bind offers host and nslookup, so you don't need the host package anymore.
