Durings pacman -Syu I was observe next issue:
checking package integrity...

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
minicom: /etc/minirc.dfl exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.


Additional info:
* package version(s): upgrade minicom from 2.4-1 to 2.4-2
* I looked into PKGBUILD for minicom (after abs run) and I observe, that directive backup=() there is not present in PKGBUILD

Steps to reproduce:
1. install old minicom package
2. do minicom -s and configure it by root
2.1 select Save as dfl, exit from minicom
3. try to install latest minicom package
This task depends upon

No problem, there is a backup=('etc/minirc.dfl'). So do a manually backup, remove .dfl, upgrade minicom, restore. On next minicom upgrade, will be backed up automatically.
