Total Installed Size: 0.20 MiB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
(1/1) checking package integrity [############################################################] 100%

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
unrar: /usr/bin/unrar exists in filesystem
unrar: /usr/share/licenses/unrar/LICENSE exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

It seems that both filesystem and unrar has /usr/bin/unrar file
Additional info:
* package version(s)
unrar-4.2.1-1
filesystem 2012.2-5 (base)
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
With unrar installed, cannot pacman -S filesystem to get upgraded
pacman -R unrar, then upgrade filesystem, then cannot pacman -S unrar
This task depends upon

An odd conclusion to draw without ever using 'pacman -Qo' to verify this. "filesystem" doesn't refer to the package called "filesystem" here. It refers to your actual root filesystem.

No, the simple explanation is that you installed unrar manually at some point.
