[solved] dnsmasq doesn't start

After last yesterdays upgrade my dnsmasq could not start. Init script shows it started properly, but there wasn't any dnsmasq process. There was nothing in log also.

I tryed to resync package, and I get this: (I translated polish errors descriptions)

error: I could not made transaction (files conflicts)                                                                
dnsmasq: /etc/rc.d/dnsmasq exists in file system                                                                    
dnsmasq: /usr/sbin/dnsmasq exists in file system                                                                       
dnsmasq: /usr/share/man/man8/dnsmasq.8 exists in file system

pacman -Sf did the trick and now it works fine, but I wrote this for a record. Maybe samoeone have similar problem, or you will want to take a look in Pacman, because it doesn't look like good behavior.
