kernel26 upradging problem

Hi, I have a small problem with upradging kernel26 to newest version.
I typed pacman -S kernel26
But after downloading file there is an error like this:

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts...
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH/modules.alias: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH/modules.ccwmap: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH/modules.dep: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH/modules.ieee1394map: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH/modules.inputmap: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH/modules.isapnpmap: exists in filesystem

  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH/modules.symbols: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH/modules.usbmap: exists in filesystem


errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

What should I do with it??
Regards

That just means you already have kernel26 installed

Re: kernel26 upradging problem

Oi.  Umm, milosh - it seems you installed a kernel without the aid of pacman.  Because of that, pacman does not control those files and cannot overwrite them.  If you wish to overwrite them (make sure this is what you want), you need to use "pacman -Sf kernel26" to force pacman to install over those files.

Again, be careful, and be sure this is what you want.

Re: kernel26 upradging problem

This error was firstly shown during pacman -Syu, so I had to add kernel26 to IgnorePkg list. I have kernel 2.6.15-.. .
I thougth, that pacman -Sf is used to force instalation only, when there are broken file dependcies.
Thx, i will think about it

Re: kernel26 upradging problem

run pacman -Qo /path/to/those/files. If pacman returns no package owns those files, then it is probably safe to use --force  as phrakture mentioned.:wq
