This is a pacman bug where it finds false conflicts when there is a symlink to a directory in the old package and a directory in the new one (or the other way around, I don't remember). I thought the package was supposed to be fixed, but apparently it wasn't. -Sf licenses.

I had this more than once, no idea what causes it, but you can simply rm /usr/bin/view and then update.
I guess these are left overs from the earlier forced kde-unstable install.
I don't think that is the case.
I'll try an uninstall of the packages and then a reinstall and see how it goes...
That should work, too.
