Error during upgrade to 'filesystem'
Today I did a pacman -Syu and got a funny error message while upgrading 'filesystem'. It says no packages were upgraded, but it actually was.
I can reproduce the error by reinstalling filesystem. Is this anything to worry about?

Re: Error during upgrade to 'filesystem'
It looks like it wants to overwrite the directory /usr/local/share/man with a file of the same path.
What do you have in said dir?

Re: Error during upgrade to 'filesystem'
There are three subdirectories there, with a bunch of files in them that seem to be related to OpenMPI. A pacman -Qo on those files yields
error: No package owns man7/ompi_crcp.7
and similar.
Should it be safe to delete these directories?

Re: Error during upgrade to 'filesystem'
Do you have openmpi installed without using a pacman? It's in the repositories and looks like it installs the same file you used as an example in /usr/share/man, not /usr/local/share/man
I would remove the files for the non-standard installation and reinstall the package from the repos
