File conflict when upgrading package

Hi,

There was an incorrect desktop-file-install call in a package I 
maintain, i.e.

|desktop-file-install --dir=%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/%{name}.desktop %{SOURCE1}

which caused the .desktop file to get installed to

/usr/share/applications/%{name}.desktop/%{name}.desktop

I fixed the syntax (by removing the %{name}.desktop part), but now when upgrading the package I get
|

Transaction check error:
   file /usr/share/applications/xflr5.desktop from install of 
xflr5-6.09.05-5.fc21.x86_64 conflicts with file from package 
xflr5-6.09.05-4.fc21.x86_64

How can I make the update work smoothly? I tried explicitly specifying 
Conflicts: xflr5 < 5.09.05-5, but it did not help.

Thanks,
Sandro
