Failed to update: conflict between pcre-static and pcre

The update fails to complete due to pcre-static owning some files that pcre owns. Should I uninstall pcre-static? What is the difference between pcre-static and pcre?

Here is the error message:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
pcre: /usr/lib/libpcre.a exists in filesystem (owned by pcre-static)
