For some reason, vi conflicts with itself which seems quite odd. I'm not using this package, but since it is fairly old and there are no bug reports, I would guess that it does not have any impact on pacman.
This task depends upon

Pacman is smart enough to ignore this conflict (just checked installing and upgrading), it's just a needless line in the PKGBUILD and the database.

By the way, the severity could be changed to very low. I thought that low is already the lowest possible one.
