error: could not prepare transaction

I am trying to upgrade my system with pacman -Syu but I once I download the required files, I get the following errors:
error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
gpm: /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

what is going on? is there any way to fix it?
