Should conflict with `wlroots`?

Description:

Already having wlroots (0.17.4-1) installed in my system, I can't install wlroots0.17, as pacman fails with the following message:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
wlroots0.17: /usr/lib/libwlroots.so.12 exists in filesystem (owned by wlroots)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I am forced to uninstall wlroots manually before installing wlroots0.17.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install wlroots-0.17.4-1 (no longer the latest version)
  2. sudo pacman -S wlroots0.17
  3. Observe error.
