pacman -Syu crashes

Hi all!

Today when performing pacman -Syu I got the following output:

[root@okaapi jan]# pacman -Syu

checking for file conflicts...
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  /usr/bin/readlink: exists in filesystem
  /usr/man/man1/readlink.1.gz: exists in filesystem

Segmentation fault
[root@okaapi jan]# pacman -Qo /usr/bin/readlink
/usr/bin/readlink is owned by tetex 2.0.2-2

First -- why did such a conflict occur and second why did it crash pacman?

Just joking around with the "search picture", btw... I just thought it was funny .    I just happened to read both the posts about the segfault and tetex.  Good luck.
