Did you check which package currently owns those files?

Re: [solved] I get the following error message: 'failed to commit...'

And .... did you follow the rest of the instructions?

EDIT: I believe I may have sounded shorter fused than was necessary.  There is an inevitable learning experience for new archers to discover just how helpful the documentation (eg wiki) really is.  Many other products, unfortunately, have crap documentation that is either hard to follow or not helpful in the end.  The arch wiki really is a wonderful source - learn to trust it and check it whenever you have concerns and a majority of those concerns/issues will be solved quickly.

No I did not. Sorry about that.

The wiki explained, since the files were not owned by a specific package, I need to rename the files which were causing problems. So all I did was add ".bak" to the end of all the files that were causing problems. I did "pacman -Syu" afterwards, and everything worked, but the files, which I renamed, were still there.

Thanks Trillby for your help and guidance.
