Description:
When updating my system (sudo pacman -Suy), the operation got interrupted with the message "error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)" fallowed with a very long list of files and folders under /usr/share/marble/

Running "pacman -Qo" on some of the conflicting files reveals that they are currently owned by :
subsurface-marble 4.4.1-1

It looks like extra/marble-data 15.08.0-2 also owns those files.


For the time being, I worked around the problem by issuing the following commands :
sudo pacman -Sdd --force extra/marble-data
sudo pacman -Su

I'm assuming that the resources files are similar enough to work for both packages.
This task depends upon

If those files are in fact the same, two possible solutions:
1) Make subsurface-marble provide and conflict with marble-data
2) Strip the data files from subsurface-marble and make it depend on marble-data
The second one seems cleaner to me
