Arch + PHP-53-fpm (Binaries move to /usr/bin problem)

Hi all,
Trying to update my system, and walked into this:
https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries … ervention/

pacman -Qqo /bin /sbin /usr/sbin | pacman -Qm -

Output:

php53-fpm 5.3.20-1

...which was expected; I have to run php 5.3 here.

Can someone guide me in the right direction?
I will answer any questions right away.
Not looking for a complete answer, but simply don't know where to start (too many trees in the forest atm).
I've Googled and tried many things by now, without any luck - which resulted in me posting this.

pacman -Syu

Output:

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

you start by modifying the PKGBUILD to put the files in /usr/bin instead of /bin, /sbin, or /usr/sbin.

Where did that package come from, anyway?

Thanks, I was just reading an article about this - this must be the way to go
Will give it a try.
Package comes from AUR, if I remember correctly.

Ah, I see now, it's a split package in the AUR as php53. Take a look at the AUR page, the instructions are already there to fix it.
