[SOLVED] package upgrade fails for python2-qt

After doing

pacman -Syuv

, I get:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
python2-qt: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PyQt4/Qt.so exists in filesystem
... snip a whole lot more... 
python2-qt: /usr/share/sip/phonon/volumeslider.sip exists in filesystem
/usr/lib/python3.1/site-packages/PyQt4/Qsci.so exists in both 'qscintilla' and 'python-qscintilla'
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Any ideas what the problem can be and how to deal with it??

Thanks in advance,

Theo.

Re: [SOLVED] package upgrade fails for python2-qt

Similar issue here : after upgrading I get :

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
python-qscintilla: /usr/lib/python3.1/site-packages/PyQt4/Qsci.so exists in filesystem

Apparently 3 packages (qscintilla and the python and python2 bindings) install the same file. IMHO File should only be installed by qscintilla ... :-)

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
