Same problem.
The files are conflicting with previous installation. Maybe is an uninstall issue of the previous version.

I uninstalled the previous version and still get this error. /usr/lib64 is a symlink to /usr/lib. Not sure what other packages use that symlink or what created it in the first place.

pitivi 0.96 installs its files in /usr/lib

pitivi 0.97 installs its files in /usr/lib64, causing the conflict.

I also suffer from this issue.

From the wiki [1]:

"Note that Arch follows the systemd FHS convention of symlinking /bin, /sbin, and /usr/sbin to /usr/bin. Additionally, /lib (and /lib64 if applicable) are symlinks to /usr/lib."

It doesn't directly mention a symlink from /usr/lib64 to /usr/lib, but at least /lib64 also gets symlinked to /usr/lib by system defaults.
