Description:
xapian-core cannot update itself, including some resolution, if this occurs for others.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
Installed: 1:1.4.19-1, new version 1:1.4.19-2

Steps to reproduce:

pacman -Syu
# => errors including
# xapian-core: /usr/bin/xapian-check exists in filesystem

pkgfile /usr/bin/xapian-check
# => extra/xapian-core

pacman -S xapian-core
# => same error
# aur/xapian-core-git, with yay, did not build either

# I xapian-core can be removed, but requires uninstalling several packages (yours may vary, or may be unresolvable, better solution may be the overwrite below):
pacman -R xapian-core akonadi-search khelpcenter pimcommon calendarsupport libgravatar libksieve mailimporter libksieve mailimporter libgravatar kdepim-addons mailcommon messagelib eventviews akonadiconsole akonadi-calendar-tools akonadi-import-wizard incidenceeditor

# after which this works:
pacman -Syu

# but then still this gives the same error, was it removed or is package database stale?
pacman -S xapian-core

# this seems to resolve it:
pacman -Syu --overwrite "*" xapian-core

# then this is ok:
pacman -S xapian-core
