Description:

[cinnamon] upgrading cinnamon to 1.6.7-5 throws muffin: exists in filesystem errors

Additional info:
cinnamon 1.6.7-4 to 1.6.7-5 upgrade throws errors such as:
muffin: /usr/bin/muffin exists in filesystem
muffin: /usr/bin/muffin-message exists in filesystem
muffin: /usr/bin/muffin-theme-viewer exists in filesystem
muffin: /usr/bin/muffin-window-demo exists in filesystem

Steps to reproduce:
Upgrading this package to 1.6.7-5 pulls in a dependency of muffin-1.1.2-1. The current package for muffin is muffin-wm 1.1.2-1.
Trying this upgrade tries to install muffin 1.1.2-1 on top of muffin-wm leading to the above errors.

I have considered using pacman -S --force muffin to force this to install but it'd keep a stale muffin-wm package in place.
This task depends upon

muffin-wm was the name of the package in aur, in community is just muffin, so that's the reason you see those errors. Anyway, it seems that something is wrong with the community muffin package. I'm trying to figure it out what it is. Right now you could try to login but the session will crash

I'm still getting the exists in filesystem errors trying to install muffin from community. Should I go ahead and force install muffin from community?

Is the muffin-1.1.2-2 package?

I only have muffin-1.1.2-1 but I'm running Arch x64. After a pacman -Syyu I still only see muffin-1.1.2-1 as an upgrade.
