Unable to overwrite directory in Pacman

Question

I am about to install a package, but it keeps failing because the file already exists. Since --force option is removed from pacman. I have been trying to overwrite the directory by --overwrite option but unfortunately, this option is also not working

Command I ran: sudo pacman -S namcap --overwrite /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/elftools/elf/*

Conflicting Files

....
python-pyelftools: /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/elftools/elf/notes.py exists in filesystem
python-pyelftools: /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/elftools/elf/relocation.py exists in filesystem
python-pyelftools: /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/elftools/elf/sections.py exists in filesystem

python-pyelftools: /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/elftools/elf/structs.py exists in filesystem
