system/gcc-gcobol package: file conflicts

I want to install gcc-gcobol (don't ask :) ) and I get the following conflict:

sudo pacman -S system/gcc-gcobol
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Total Installed Size:  53.49 MiB

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.


It looks like the installation is blocked by 2 man pages that were already installed by the main gcc package.

This has been reported upstream and it looks like the next gcc package will include a fix.
