Having issues with /usr/lib/libfreeimageplus.so.3 exists in filesystem

Hello!
On sunday I did a pamcan -Suy and it fails showing:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
freeimage: /usr/lib/libfreeimageplus.so.3 exists in filesystem

It is trying to install: Packages (9): farstream-0.1-0.1.2-4  freeimage-3.16.0-2  gnome-desktop-sharp-2.26.0-10
              gtkhtml-sharp-2.26.0-9 [removal]  gtksourceview2-sharp-2.26.0-10
              libgnome-desktop-sharp-2.26.0-10  rsvg2-sharp-2.26.0-10  vte-sharp-2.26.0-10
              wnck-sharp-2.26.0-10

And I did this:
pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libfreeimageplus.so.3
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libfreeimageplus.so.3

??

Any idea? what to do?

Luuuciano:

So, I'm having the same problem.  I'm relatively new to Arch: I've  just been using  it a month or two, and I'm not entirely sure what the wiki is telling me to do when it says to "rename" the file.  Would you please elaborate for me?  I would really appreciate your help. 

Thank you,

Corey Goettsch

As root (user root) you have to run:

mv /usr/lib/libfreeimageplus.so.3 /usr/lib/libfreeimageplusBACKUP.so.3

That is all... that rename the file to a libfreeimageplusBACKUP.so.3 ...
Then run pacman -Suy (using your regular user)

Thanks a lot, Luuuciano!  That did the trick!  I'll remember that if a similar problem emerges.

I had the same issue (though I fixed it), could there be something wrong with a package (or packages)?

Most likely something wrong with the previous package that was fixed in the current one.

I found out that after a recent update, VLC no longer works because vlc-cache-gen segfaults. It could be, and in all likelyhood is a coincidence, but is it possible the two issues could be related somehow?

No, that is a separate issue that's being discussed in another thread (Multimedia forum).

I had to remove freeimage package, then reinstall after upgrade. Renaming the file didn't work for me.
