Problems running pacman -Syu

Hi, trying to run pacman -Syu, but get:
pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
current                  [################] 100%      37K    22.8K/s  00:00:01
extra                    [################] 100%     142K    46.8K/s  00:00:03

Targets: shadow-4.0.4.1-3 coreutils-5.2.1-2 gcc-3.4.1-2 module-init-tools-3.0-2
         nano-1.2.4-2 sed-4.1.1-1

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] Y

:: Retrieving packages from current...

nano-1.2.4-2             [################] 100%     277K    80.3K/s  00:00:03

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts...
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  /bin/su: exists in filesystem
  /etc/pam.d/su: exists in filesystem
  /usr/man/man1/su.1.gz: exists in filesystem

Problem is of course that nothing has been upgraded.

Do I delete the files complained of?

Kind regards
