[SOLVED]Pacman complains when trying to upgrade

Hello all.

Trying to run "pacman -Syu" I get the following errors:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
kernel26-firmware: /lib/firmware/bnx2x-e1-4.8.53.0.fw exists in filesystem
kernel26-firmware: /lib/firmware/bnx2x-e1h-4.8.53.0.fw exists in filesystem
kernel26-firmware: /lib/firmware/cis/3CCFEM556.cis exists in filesystem
kernel26-firmware: /lib/firmware/cis/3CXEM556.cis exists in filesystem
kernel26-firmware: /lib/firmware/cxgb3/t3fw-7.4.0.bin exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I suspected that it had something to do with an old custom kernel I'm not really using anymore, but not sure. Running "pacman -Qo" just gives:

error: No package owns /lib/firmware/bnx2x-e1-4.8.53.0.fw

Anyone had any ideas? Help much appreciated.

Remove them manually, then rerun the upgrade. Problem fixed.

Try using the 'f' [ force ] flag. pacman -Sfyu.

Yup, I just ran it with the force option and everything installed and upgraded fine.

Thanks.
