Description:
Conflicting files from different packages which have nothing in common : openbox and openbabel
Both openbox and openbabel package the file /usr/bin/obprop, even though the two applications share no functionality and have nothing in common nor they can replace one another
Additional info:
* package version(s)
openbox 3.4.9-1
openbabel 2.2.3-1
* config and/or log files etc.
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
openbox: /usr/bin/obprop exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Steps to reproduce:
1) have kdeedu-kalzium installed for which openbabel is a dependency
2) try to install/update openbox 3.4.9-1
you'll end up with the above error: /usr/bin/obprop already exists in filesystem
This task depends upon
