[SOLVED] KDE 4.3 upgrade. Kde-meta-kdeplasma-addons conflict

Hello. Today i decided to upgrade my kde 4.2.4 to 4.3. After i execute:

pacman -S kdeadmin kdeartwork kdebase kdeplasma-addons

there is some warnings in output:

Warning: provider package was selected (kde-meta-kdeplasma-addons provides kdeplasma-addons)
...

I don't want to install any kde-meta package. But this is no problem. I can delete them after.
Problem is that:

error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: kde-meta-kdeplasma-addons: conflicts with kdeplasma-addons-libs

How to resolve that? Or maybe i must install manually all packages in kdeplasma-addons group?

P.S. Sorry for my english.

Same problem here. I think best is what has been suggested in that case.

Don't force anything, just file a bug report.

Wait for kde-meta*-4.3-4. Those should solve the issue. Pacman seems to be confused about having groups and provides with the same name.

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 4.3 upgrade. Kde-meta-kdeplasma-addons conflict

I've solved this doing the following:

yaourt -Syu

And when pacman asks if you want to replace kde-graphics with kde-meta-graphics (for example) you have to accept all the instances except kdeplasma-addons.
Then I have removed the package kdeplasma-addons with:

yaourt -R kdeplasma-addons

And finally I have installed all the kdeplasma related packages with:

yaourt kdeplasma

selecting all the kdeplasma packages except the kde-meta-plasma-addons package (with the range 2-53).
You can use pacman instead of yaourt in the first two commands, but I don't know how you can perform the last command with pacman.
Anyway, I recommend you using yaourt. It's a great tool.

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 4.3 upgrade. Kde-meta-kdeplasma-addons conflict

Hi all, ehen i try with yaourt -Syu i get this error:
missing dependency for kde-meta-kdeplasma-addons : kdeplasma-addons-dataengines

with pacman -Syu :
error: could not prepare transaction                                                                         
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)                                                       
kdeplasma-addons-applets-bball: /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_bball.so exists in filesystem                     
kdeplasma-addons-applets-bball: /usr/share/apps/bball/bball.svgz exists in filesystem                         
kdeplasma-addons-applets-bball: /usr/share/apps/bball/bounce.ogg exists in filesystem                         
kdeplasma-addons-applets-bball: /usr/share/apps/bball/football.svgz exists in filesystem
.
.
.

It ask me to replace some files and i said yes. Maybe i shouldn't done that...
So, shall i wait, or i need to do something, maybe i need to delete all installed files for KDE and then try to do new install?

You are using an outdated mirror: kdeplasma-addons-dataengines was never in extra.

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 4.3 upgrade. Kde-meta-kdeplasma-addons conflict

@Pierre
I just change my mirror to : Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/x86_64
and still can't upgrade.
error: could not prepare transaction                                                                         
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

kdeplasma-addons-applets-bball: /usr/share/apps/bball/football.svgz exists in filesystem
.
.
.

Should i delete all my KDE installed packages, and try to install everything again with sudo pacman -Sy kde ?
This is strange, i'm using KDE 4.3 for some time from RC2 and now i can't upgrade.

Remove the kdeplasma-addons group before update; I should write a note about that to arch-dev-public. I had to remove the replaces due to other problems.

Re: [SOLVED] KDE 4.3 upgrade. Kde-meta-kdeplasma-addons conflict

I did the following and worked:

pacman -Suy --ignoregroup kdeplasma-addons
