python-pyqt5-5.15.7-1 fails to install

I'm upgrading from python-pyqt5-5.15.6-7 to  python-pyqt5 -5.15.7-1 and get the following error.
The base directory was changed from /usr/bin  to /bin in the packaging.

Code: [Select]
[error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
python-pyqt5: /bin exists in filesystem (owned by filesystem)
python-pyqt5: /bin/pylupdate5 exists in filesystem
python-pyqt5: /bin/pyrcc5 exists in filesystem
python-pyqt5: /bin/pyuic5 exists in filesystem/code]

I could do that but, what I said on the second line of my first post was that the install directory for the binary had changed from /usr/bin to /bin on the upgrade. Isn't that what caused the error

i can only tell you what to do to install based on the errors you posted.  I gave you the solution to the errors.  What more is there to do?

This should be fixed in 5.15.7-1.1.

@vaapicon when you posted your message the error was already fixed for 3 hours. To feed my curiosity, what mirror do you use?

@cat herders of linux don't recommend such thing when you don't know what is actually happening. It could break much more things that it would fix. This error message can happen only if there is an error on the maintainer's side (which was the case), something actually changed and it is a normal thing but an announcement would have been made or finally if the system administrator created files in a wrong place so he should know what to do about it.
