Hello,
I've tried to upgrade my system today and got the following error message:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.32-ARCH/kernel/drivers/media/video/bt866.ko exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Any idea, what am I supposed to do?
Thanks,
jmak

Seems the update tried to replace your videodriver but couldn't replace one of its old file. Try to remove the driver (with pacman -R or if that complains about dependencies with -Rd), do the upgrade and reinstall the driver afterwards. Don't reboot in the middle or you will have no X i.e. graphical system any more.

Exists in filesystem error means that the file is going to be overwritten. Just go -Sf to force overwriting (it's safe)
My victim you are meant to be
No, you cannot hide nor flee
You know what I'm looking for

It's safe in this case.
Just clarifying that, as forcing is usually NOT recommended.

Just adding my agreement, for emphasis.
(This is the newbie corner.)
