[Solved] Error installing vlc-git

I'm trying to install vlmc which requires vlc-git.  After a long compile, I run

pacman -U vlc-git-va-20100317-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

and get these errors:

loading package data...
checking dependencies...
error: replacing packages with -U is not supported yet
error: you can replace packages manually using -Rd and -U
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: vlc-git-va: conflicts with vlc

What gets me is the last line.  Why should this conflict with vlc?
