Description:
Running pacman to update my system is being blocked due to "conflicting files" for npm package. Conflicting files are node_modules and a list is attached. When the offending folder is renamed to avoid conflict, another folder in node_modules/ becomes the offending folder.

Additional info:
* package version: 6.4.0-1


Steps to reproduce:
Run `pacman -Syu` with a package update for npm 6.4.0-1.
