Pacman can't decide whether the package "curl" owns the file /usr/share/licenses/lib32-curl/COPYING.

Terminal session:
$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/licenses/lib32-curl/COPYING
/usr/share/licenses/lib32-curl/COPYING is owned by curl 7.29.0-2
$ pacman -Ql curl | grep COPYING
curl /usr/share/licenses/curl/COPYING
$ pacman --version

it appears if you had lib32-curl installed from the aur, it was a symlink from /usr/share/licenses/lib32-curl -> curl ... and I changed it to an actual directory.

Ah, it's indeed a symlink. I ran

# rm /usr/share/licenses/lib32-curl
# pacman -S lib32-curl

and things seem to be back in order.
