Taken from [1]

Command:
pacman -Syu

Error message:
qemu-common: /etc/qemu/bridge.conf exists in filesystem

Example Workaround:
sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite etc/qemu/bridge.conf

Also ran into this. Please add as a backup, so my custom /etc/qemu/bridge.conf isn't overwritten by future upgrades.

/etc/sasl2/qemu.conf should probably be a backup as well, but that's probably customized less often than bridge.conf.

This issue persists for me each update.

I've put up a patch here [1] that includes a fix for this bug (along with 3 others).

One more qemu update, one more time to ponder why my virtual machine doesn't start and find the right file to edit.

My apologies, I didn't have enough time for qemu in the past months due to other software commitments.

I have added this change in SVN now and it should be included in the next pkgrel bump.

Sorry, due to a botched SVN conflict resolution this change has been reverted in 7.1.0-1 (currently in testing).
Will rebuild to reapply... -_-

The change is now added back in 7.1.0-2, so closing.
