Errors occured, no packages were upgraded

Hello. I'm quite the noob and I get this when I do pacman -Syu!

checking package integrity...
(38/38) checking for file conflicts                 [####################################################################] 100%
error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
git: /usr/share/gitweb/test/Märchen exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Any help is appreciated.

My solution was to delete the file then do the update.

Re: Errors occured, no packages were upgraded

Okay, so now I get this instead, when doing pacman -Syu...

Re: Errors occured, no packages were upgraded

And just to make it worse, this just happened:

deniz@stalin:~$ sudo pacman-optimize
==> MD5sum'ing the old database...
==> Tar'ing up /var/lib/pacman/...
==> Making and MD5sum'ing the new db...
==> Checking integrity...
==> Putting the new database in place...

==> Finished. Your pacman database has been optimized.
==> For full benefits of pacman-optimize, run 'sync' now.

deniz@stalin:~$ sync
deniz@stalin:~$ yaourt -Syyu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from ftp.archlinux.org : Protocol error

...and then it hangs.

Re: Errors occured, no packages were upgraded

I get the "failed to prepare transaction" error, too... Haven't found a solution yet.

with the --debug option, I got the following message:

debug: checkdeps: transaction would break 'gcc-fortran' dependency of 'python-numpy'

after removing python-numpy (at the moment, I don't need it), pacman works as expected. As soon as the updates are installed, I'll try to reinstall numpy, but my internet connection is slow, so I/you have to wait some time.

Re: Errors occured, no packages were upgraded

It seems that the errors disappear once I remove python-scipy, python-numpy, lapack and blas.

Re: Errors occured, no packages were upgraded

python-numpy has not been update to reflect that gcc-fortan is now in gcc/gcc-libs.  http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9926

Re: Errors occured, no packages were upgraded

I'm getting a lot errors trying to update git, there was also an error with /usr/share/gitweb/test/Märchen but I removed that file, but I still have a lot of the other files, do I have to remove them manually?

Re: Errors occured, no packages were upgraded

This may be the only time you would be justified in using the force option in pacman.
pacman -Sf <pkgname>
