Remove libelf and keep elfutils.  That's what I did recently in an update as libelf appears not to be needed anymore.

It seems I did not remove libelf from the repos fast enough.  Once that happens you will get the usual "replaces" question rather than a conflict one.   It is fine to say yes to that question.

Re: [SOLVED]elfutils and libelf are in conflict

if i say ok, replace libelf with core/elfutils it says ok, but when is going to checking package integrity after my "y" for the installation it says:
"error:failed to commit tranaction (conflicting files)
kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/modules.devname exists in filesystem
kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/modules.softdep exists in filesystem".
i have also tried to remove libelf but it wants to remove gcc and the catalyst, and i'd asked in order to know if there is a better or more elegant solution.
thanks

Your best bet would be to use:

pacman -Rd libefl && pacman -S elfutils

Not even related to libelf/elfutils. This is part of the 2.6.35 kernel which you're also upgrading in the same round. It's safe to override with -f.

Re: [SOLVED]elfutils and libelf are in conflict

I seem to be getting a lot of "exists in filesystem"-errors when running pacman -Syu lately. WHat causes this? Obviously, there are files in the filesystem there, I get that. But this houldn't give me an error. Is it the packages that are not properly made?

Re: [SOLVED]elfutils and libelf are in conflict

your pacman stuff is likely to be corrupted
