Note on gzip/gzip-zutils conflict. Technically zutils conflicts with gzip, however because gzip-zutils provides gzip, pacman sees gzip-zutils package as a conflict as well. Because gzip-zutils is a dependency, it lists the conflict with gzip to avoid an impossible solution/conflict loop. It's not pretty but it works, because, as far as I know, pacman doesn't have a feature like dpkg-divert. If anyone knows how to clean this up, please comment on this package or send me an email.

zutils conflicts with gzip, but not with pigz. Can't we just use pigz instead?
