During pacman update a short time ago I get:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
python2-twisted: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/plugins/dropin.cache exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
Is this something that needs manual intervention, or some other problem?
Edit: After checking that no package owns the affected file I did
mv /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/plugins/dropin.cache /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/plugins/dropin.cache.prev
then re-ran pacman update and it was fine - then removed the renamed file.

I'm having the same error. How did this file come to be if no package owns it? I've been using Arch for a long time and rarely have to manually manage files like this (and when I do it's usually on the front page news.)
