Description:

I tried to update R to 2.15.1-2 from "extra" repository on a 64-bit Arch, but got the following error message:

```
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
r: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/R.conf exists in filesystem
```

Also tried with `pacman -Sf r` but got this:

```
error: extract: not overwriting dir with file usr/lib/R/library/graphics/po/da/LC_MESSAGES/R-graphics.mo
error: problem occurred while upgrading r
>>> updating the filename database for texlive...
error: could not commit transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (transaction aborted)
```

I suspect it could be something with a prior RApache (http://rapache.net/), but not sure.

Any ideas how could I resolve this issue?
This task depends upon

pacman -Qo those files and remove the package that owns them. It will require adjusted.

Thanks!

I could resolve this issue by deleting `/usr/lib/R/library/graphics/po/da/LC_MESSAGES/R-graphics.mo` which somehow became a directory and the `pacman -Sf r` could run without error. I have no idea how that file became a directory...
