[solved] nmap upgrade error

Hi,
after today's update, with nmap 5.00-1 -> 5.20-1, I have this error:

Error: the validation of the transaction failed (file conflict)
nmap: /usr/share/man/fr/man1/nmap.1.gz is already present in the filesystem
Errors happened, no package updated.

(translated from french, so maybe no exactly the corresponding english error message ;-))
Should I delete /usr/share/man/fr/man1/nmap.1.gz ?

Re: [solved] nmap upgrade error

If it's owned by nmap and no other package (which I'm sure is what you'll find to be the case) you will be fine.

Re: [solved] nmap upgrade error

thanks, I didn't know this feature. In my case, pacman -Qo says this :
/usr/share/man/fr/man1/nmap.1.gz belongs to man-pages-sup-fr 20080606-1

man-pages-sup-fr comes from archlinuxfr repository (traductions of manpages in french).
so what should I do ? in the thread of your link, it is said "If the file is owned by another package file a bug report".
should I report this to archlinuxfr maintainers ?

edit: I removed man-pages-sup-fr which solevd the problem
