I updated the whole system the other day, but it turned out that networkmanager and the applet won't work on wireless net.
ifconfig+iwconfig+iwlist work well, so there should be only sth wrong with networkmanager or network-manager-applet. (my assumption)
I tried to update the two packages. but i got this
(2/2) checking for file conflicts [##########################################] 100%
(1/2) upgrading networkmanager [##########################################] 100%
warning: directory permissions differ on var/lib/NetworkManager/
filesystem: 755 package: 700
error: command failed to execute correctly
(2/2) upgrading network-manager-applet [##########################################] 100%
Could anyone please tell me what is wrong,
thanks in advance.

I also got the same error. But I was just trying to configure networkmanager after installing it. At the first time I installed it I did not get any error. But when I reinstalled it after failing to configure it properly the error showed up. I did:
chmod 700 /var/lib/NetworkManager
..immediately after getting the error.
Though now everything is configured correctly and network manager is working fine for me I still get the same error if I try to reinstall networkmanager:

When you install something that is already installed you are simply drawing from your own systems package cache
As shown above, nothing is downloaded
Clean cache and try again

The problem is not that. Try and understand the error message appears when when the package is inatalled not when it is downloaded. Logically even if I were to clean the cache and install networkkmanager again after downloading it fresh the error message will still appear. Nonetheless I will follow your suggestion and post back when I'm on Arch again..

I tried your suggestion and unistalled networkmanager along with the kde-plasma-applet. I restarted the laptop and connected to my wieless router using netcfg. Cleared the cache of uninstalled packages.

Well you know what it actually worked out. After cleaning the cache:
sudo pacman -S kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement

But ofcourse, the problem was not that the packages were being picked up from the local cache. But I think we were getting the error because when network manager was reinstalled above it was already running as a daemon (background process). But when I reinstalled it this time it was not running on the system so the installation went smoothly.
