Details
I migrated /etc/privoxy files to new installation but pacman
install failed due to 'conflicting files'
``` error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) privoxy: /etc/privoxy/regression-tests.action exists in filesystem privoxy: /etc/privoxy/templates/blocked exists in filesystem privoxy: /etc/privoxy/templates/cgi-error-404 exists in filesystem <snip lots of /etc/privoxy/templates/ files> ``` Privoxy version 3.0.28-2 I didn't care about the existing files so I deleted them and then the install succeeded. I would suggest adding regression-tests.action and templates/* to the backup array in PKGBUILD |
This task depends upon

Where did all of those files come from before?
3.0.28-1 already had those files, so this is probably just
database/filesystem corruption. See the wiki.
