[Bug] Conflicts in /usr/share/doc/vala-panel/appmenu/README.md and /usr/share/licenses/vala-panel-appmenu/LICENSE
What happens?
When updating the system with vala-panel-appmenu-common-git and vala-panel-appmenu-xfce-git, I'm getting conflicts in 2 files apparently both are trying to "own":
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/usr/share/doc/vala-panel-appmenu/README.md exists in both 'vala-panel-appmenu-common-git' and 'vala-panel-appmenu-xfce-git'
/usr/share/licenses/vala-panel-appmenu/LICENSE exists in both 'vala-panel-appmenu-common-git' and 'vala-panel-appmenu-xfce-git'
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
What is expected to happen?
Updates without conflict.

Hey! This seems to be more of a packaging issue for these 2 applications. I'd report this on the respective AUR pages for this reason.
What we could do is adding the needed conflicts() to both packages via interfere given both packages can't be installed at the same time. Were they working before the update?
Well, the problem is, *-xfce-git depends on *-common-git, specifically. It worked, until upstream moved "README and LICENSE" files to proper install paths. I have reported the problem to upstream AUR for the time being already though.
