bash-completion upgrade conflicts with pacman

pacman warned me that /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/makepkg would be overwritten.

pacman -Oo said then that it's part of bash-completion 1.99-1, but there's already bash-completion 1.99-2 that hasn't any more included that file cause now as it seems, the file move into the new pacman package.

So following process to not corrupt anything:
1) Move the file out of the way:

 # mv /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/makepkg /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/makepkg.bak 

2) Upgrade pacman

 # pacman -S pacman 

3) Upgrade bash-completion (this step will remove the file)

 # pacman -S bash-completion 

4) Reinstall pacman again, to not loose the file.

 # pacman -S pacman 

5) Now, you can remove the backup.

 # rm -f /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/makepkg.bak
