Description:

When updating with pacman -Syu, youtube-dl fails to update because of conflicting files. I already checked if other packages use those fails, but there weren't any packages that are using the file. Also, removing youtube-dl with pacman -r and installing it again with pacman -S youtube-dl didn't help.

The log of "pacman -S youtube-dl" is in the attachment. Doing pacman -Qo results in:
[code]
error: No package owns /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/
[/code]
Steps to reproduce:
Install the latest youtube-dl or update existing system with youtube-dl.

Cannot reproduce:
$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/
/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/ is owned by youtube-dl 2015.01.04-1

Works for me on my 32-bit Arch with [testing] repos enabled.

Check your package database.
