libusb conflict

Hi all,

Tried pacman -Syu today, but it resulted in file conflict:

[root@okaapi jan]# pacman -Syu

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]

checking for file conflicts... 
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  /usr/lib/libusb.so: exists in filesystem
  /usr/lib/libusb.la: exists in filesystem
  /usr/lib/libusb.a: exists in filesystem

[root@okaapi jan]#pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libusb.so
/usr/lib/libusb.so is owned by usbutils 0.11-2

So do I read it correctly that libusb conflicts with usbutils? What would be the solution?

Best regards,
Jan

Re: libusb conflict

Yeah... I'll get on it... sometime when it isn't 1:00 in the morning.
