argh, errors installing gtk-libs
Pacman sez:
error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
gcc-libs: /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so exists in filesystem (followed by about eleventy billion other "exists in filesystem" errors)
I have not installed anything outside of pacman, and I have not installed anything from the testing branch. Just before installing gtk, I installed xorg without any errors and it runs great with my ATI radeon 7000. So what's causing the conflict with gtk-libs? Can't install pidgin without gtk...

Re: argh, errors installing gtk-libs
Append 'f' to your Pacman flags to force install:
pacman -Sf <some_library>Offline

I saw that in the man page, but... if there are version conflicts, wouldn't that break the package that is conflicting with my attempted install?
