kde packages gone

Hi!

pacman -Syu suggest to update kdelibs and 2 kdebase packages (via rekonq) and then complaints files already exist in file system.

# pacman -Q | grep kde
polkit-kde 0.99.0-2
qtcurve-kde4 1.8.14-1

Err...were have my kde packages gone to? Did I miss sth.? Any idea how to fix that? I've not even a clue where pacman stores its installed packages :\

thx

@tcn
Same issues here...

@karol
Thank you for the link. Is there an easier way than copying files from another installation?

cheers,

Re: kde packages gone

Seems like a pretty easy fix. You can use '--force' to install this package too.
It's important to understand what pacman does and how, so e.g.

I've not even a clue where pacman stores its installed packages :\

is not the right attitude.

The question is, why suddenly some people have such issues.
