when I upgrade from 0.95-2 to 0.97-1, there occurs message

error: the following file conflicts were found:

If grub can't do direct upgrade, I suggest there should exist document when we run 'pacman -Syu'.
This task depends upon

If you still have your pacman db (BEFORE succeeding in upgrading grub), please tar/gzip it and send it to me.

do you mean you want grub-0.95-2.pkg.tar.gz ?

Actually, nevermind. I think I can reproduce without your database.

As a workaround, you can uninstall/reinstall grub.

# pacman -Rd grub
# pacman -S grub

Afterwards, make sure your /boot/grub/menu.lst is still correct.

Yes, I known the workaround method. But I wish the upgrade system should be smarter :).
