kde 3.2 update generates a conflict?

Hello All

I tried searching and nobody seems to be having this problem.  I used packman to update my system and I got the following error:

deadface root # pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
current.db.tar.gz        [####################################] 100% |     38K
extra.db.tar.gz          [####################################] 100% |    112K

Targets: arts-1.2.0-1 kdelibs-3.2.0-1 kdebase-3.2.0-1 kdeadmin-3.2.0-1
         kdeartwork-3.2.0-1 kdegraphics-3.2.0-1 flac-1.1.0-3
         kdemultimedia-3.2.0-1 kdenetwork-3.2.0-1 kdeutils-3.2.0-1

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] Y

checking package integrity... done.

checking for file conflicts...
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  /opt/kde/bin/kfmexec: exists in filesystem
  /opt/kde/include/kbookmarkimporter_crash.h: exists in filesystem

  /opt/kde/include/kbookmarkimporter_opera.h: exists in filesystem
  /opt/kde/lib/kde3/kwin_icewm_config.la: exists in filesystem
  ......
  snip

Can someone give me a lead on what to do?

Thanks

Re: kde 3.2 update generates a conflict?

this is the second time this issue has appeared in the last two days so i have two recommendations.

1. first find out which package you currently have that owns those files. you can do this by issuing the command:

pacman -Qo  /opt/kde/include/kbookmarkimporter_crash.h

(you can run this on one or all of the listed files)

2. once you know which package these files are from file a bug report so the kde maintainer can fix this issue.

finally to if want to install anyway you can use "pacman -Syuf". though it is rare you could break whatever package uses those files.

Thanks,

I checked the owner and they all belong to kdebase 3.1.5-1.  How do I submit the bug report? 

Thanks
