[SOLVED] PKGBUILD /lib exists in filesystem

Question

Apologies for the similar thread...
I know there's a lot of topics similar to this with particular files conflicting with various packages when installing, but I couldn't quite see the issue with my PKGBUILD.
PKGBUILD contents (without the vars):
package() {
# Unpack the vendor package
cd "${srcdir}"
tar -zxf data.tar.gz
cp -dpr "${srcdir}/usr" "${pkgdir}"
install -Dm0644 "${pkgdir}/usr/share/doc/vpn-unlimited/copyright" \
"${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/copyright"
# Create a custom script that forces the older libcurl
cat > "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/vpnu" <<- EOF
#!/bin/sh
PID=$(pidof vpn-unlimited-daemon)
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "Must be root to run VPN daemon" 1>&2
exit 1
else
if [ -z $PID]; then
vpn-unlimited-daemon &
sleep 2
fi
LD_PRELOAD=libcurl.so.3 vpn-unlimited
fi
EOF
# Change script permissions
chmod 0755 "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/vpnu"
# Alter the desktop file to launch our script instead
sed -i 's/Exec=vpn-unlimited/Exec=vpnu/g' "${pkgdir}/usr/share/applications/vpn-unlimited.desktop"
# Add our custom systemd unit
install -Dm0644 "${srcdir}/vpn-unlimited-daemon.service" "${pkgdir}/lib/systemd/system/vpn-unlimited-daemon.service"
# Save this original file
cp -p "${srcdir}/etc/init.d/vpn-unlimited-daemon" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/doc/vpn-unlimited/"
While building:
vpn-unlimited: /lib exists in filesystem
vpn-unlimited: /usr/sbin exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I don't understand why the problem is the symbolic links at /lib and /usr/sbin. Doesn't cp -dpr follow the symlinks?

Can someone help me changing the PKGBUILD from tm_smapi-ck?
I am getting the same error message:
(1/1) checking for file conflicts [###########################] 100%
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
tp_smapi-ck: /lib exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
