error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Hi folks,

since yesterday I'm getting this messages when I want to try a system upgrade with pacman -Suy:

:: Replace kdelibs-experimental with extra/kdelibs? [Y/n] :: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 archlinuxfr is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: proftpd: local (1.3.2-4) is newer than extra (1.3.2c-2)
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdelibs: requires phonon
:: kde-meta-kdepim: requires kdepim-akonadiconsole

I'm not using KDE, but have it installed. Is there any way to solve this? I've also tried another mirror,without success.

So long,
beachcoder

I had the same problem, but the above did not work for me. I still get this:

pacman -Sy --asdeps qt
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdelibs: requires phonon
:: qtscriptgenerator: requires phonon

Any ideas?
