Description:

I obtain a "Failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)" error when I run a pacman.

I follow this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/pacman#.22Failed_to_commit_transaction_.28conflicting_files.29.22_error

pacman -Qo /etc/fonts/conf.d
/etc/fonts/conf.d/ is owned by cantarell-fonts 1:0.0.25-2
/etc/fonts/conf.d/ is owned by cups-filters 1.11.4-1
/etc/fonts/conf.d/ is owned by fontconfig 2.12.1-3

The concerned files are fonts files only:
/etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf/20-unhint-small-dejavu-sans.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf/20-unhint-small-dejavu-sans-mono.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf/20-unhint-small-dejavu-serif.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf/57-dejavu-sans.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf/57-dejavu-sans-mono.conf
/etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf/57-dejavu-serif.conf

Additional info:
* package version(s)
cups-filters 1.11.5-1
* config and/or log files etc.à
as describe above
