pacman -Qo conflicting_file

will tell you what package if any owns the file in question, then you
can just remove that package or file in a bug report about the conflict.

Sometimes it is okay to "pacman -Sf" things. Keep a backup copy of
this file, just in case?

This might be a better idea. You have to make sure that the file does
not belong to some other package. If it does, remove or upgrade the
other package as it should no longer belong to it, if it also belongs
to the package you are trying to install.

Disregard my previous answer.
