Description:
When installing python-matplotlib I get the following error:

error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
python-matplotlib: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/configobj.py exists in filesystem
python-matplotlib: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/configobj.pyc exists in filesystem

This is because I already have python-configobj installed from the AUR. Surely the package should require python-configobj as a dependency, rather than bundling it with matplotlib - other apps use matplotlib also (or maybe a provides python-configobj)



Steps to reproduce:
Install python-configobj from AUR
Try and install python-matplotlib
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Thanks for the bug report, fixed adding the configobj module as a dep and removing the matplolib one.
