[Solved] Can't upgrade system - cups related problem

Question

Hi,
I can't upgrade (pacman -Syu) my system due some cups related problems.
AS you can see, although the problem seems to be cups related, none of the other packages has been upgarded as well.
Please advise.:mad:
Thanks,
Michael Badt

Well it sort of did, but I have to admit I had to check the forums before continuing...the messages I received were:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
cups: /etc/cups/classes.conf exists in filesystem
cups: /etc/cups/printers.conf exists in filesystem
cups: /etc/cups/subscriptions.conf exists in filesystem
