It looks like to me that the .FILELIST just has some "extra" entries at the top. Those extra files are the three that are in conflict.

To test, I rebuilt yp-tools with a modified PKGBUILD. I changed the ./configure line so it was ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-domainname and rebuilt. The utilities in /bin are not created.

But net-tools seems to conflict with this package. I'm not sure that putting these files in /usr is the desired effect. I defer to dorphell and Judd to sort this out, but I'm happy to implement the decided result.

My only comment here is that it looks like yp-tools has now "added" new functionality that overlaps the current functionality in net-tools.
I do agree that dorphell and Judd need to sort this out.
