Upgrading pacman after a fresh install failed

Recently I installed Arch Linux on my machine. I was following a few "after install" instructions. When I did,

#pacman -S pacman

I got the following errors.

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
glibc: /usr/bin/tzselect exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/sbin/zdump exists in filesystem
glibc: /usr/sbin/zic exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

How to proceed from here?
Thanks.

Did you pacman -Syu?
