[solved] Conflicting files while trying to install Eclipse

Hi, I tried to install Eclipse but all I got was an output like this :

[xxxxx@arch ~]$ sudo pacman -S eclipse 
[sudo] password for xxxxx: 
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Packages (17): aspell-0.60.6.1-2  ca-certificates-java-20140324-3  enchant-1.6.0-5

               jre7-openjdk-7.u65_2.5.1-3  jre7-openjdk-headless-7.u65_2.5.1-3

I looked for a solution and found that a

 sudo pacman -Syu eclipse 

would allow me to install Eclipse. The point is that I don't want to do a full-system upgrade because a more recent kernel will prevent the wi-fi from working on my computer.

Does anyone have any idea?

you could add linux to the ignore pkg list in /etc/pacman.conf , then try again with pacman -Syu eclipse .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
