Description: I've tried to upgrade gpm from version 1.20.1-7 to version 1.20.3-1 on arch64 but pacman bawks with a file conflict

===
gpm: /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
===

'pacman -Qo' reports the file is not owned by anyone, and 'pacman -Ql' confirms this. strange, as the libgpm.so.1 is only a symlink to a file that is actually owned by the package.
This task depends upon
