[SOLVED] lua52: /usr/lib/liblua5.2.so.5.2 exists in filesystem

Hi

Sorry if my problem has already been discussed, I searched for a long time on the Internet, but totally failed to find out any solution…
When I try to install some packages which require the package lua52, I systematically get this error message from Pacman:

[...]
(44/44) checking for file conflicts                    [############################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
lua52: /usr/lib/liblua5.2.so.5.2 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I understand that one of the packages required by the software I try to install comes with a file that already exists on my disk, but I don't know what package installed it. I assume it has been installed because it was a dependence of another package, so how can I resolve this kind of conflict without breaking anything?

Thanks in advance

... but I don't know what package installed it.

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/liblua5.2.so.5.2
