Details

Description:

In a system that already has Python2 installed, the latest PyPy packages fail to install with this error:
pypy: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/README exists in filesystem

I'm pretty sure if pypy were installed first that a subsequent installation of Python2 would fail with the same error.

Deleting the README file allows the installation to go forward.

Additional info:

Python2 version: 2.7.5-1
PyPy version: 2.0.2-1


Steps to reproduce:
Attempt to install PyPy on a system where Python2 is already installed.
This task depends upon

This is wrong. You are not using the current repo version of pypy apparently. Run

$ pacman -Ql pypy |grep python2.7

It doesn't even yield any output.
