Hello, If that should work, then try upgrading filesystem asap, and expect many '/usr/bin/file already exists in filesystem' errors on subsequent updates. Make sure, that they are unowned according to pacman (pacman -Qo /path/to/file), and remove them before continuing. Also make sure to never reboot between removing the files and upgrading these packages. --Oliver Temlin
