Hi!

I've tried to upgrade using pacman one of my computers after a long time and I get the following error:

I found this but I'm not asked to delete one of those packages.
What should I do? I don't want to delete one of them and break my system

Thanks!

KDE4 and KDE frameworks/plasma cannot be installed side by side. You'll have to choose either one of them. There are quite a lot of topics on this particular issue.

EDIT: ALso, wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Plasma

I searched but don't really found the solution for this exactly.
I think Plasma 5 is the latest version of KDE so that's what I should install but I don't know exactly how to proceed to upgrade to it

runical · 2015-05-08 14:11:27

You are right. Plasma and frameworks are the new version incarnation of KDE. The problem you are seeing is that you are trying to install KDE4 applications AND Plasma 5 applications at the same time, but this is not possible (hence the conflict). The solution is simple, make a choice for one of the two (plasma 5 of KDE4) and remove the other (plasma 5 is probably the best way to go, KDE4 will be removed from the repos quite soon and deprecated by upstream in august according to the wiki).

eherranzr · 2015-05-08 14:15:10

So should I uninstall kactivities4 and then install kactivities-frameworks? Would it be ok?

runical · 2015-05-08 14:20:57

Yes, and all that depends on kactivities4. There is one catch though: with Plasma 5, they switched over to SDDM, so make sure you set that up.

eherranzr · 2015-05-08 14:35:25

I'll leave this on hold for a couple of weeks as I don't have many time and I'll try to do it then.
If necessary I'll make some questions here to be sure what to do

Thanks for all the help

Installing kactivities-frameworks with pacman -Sdd should let you update

That would force the installation ignoring conflicts right?
That would break my system probably

arojas · 2015-05-08 17:11:04

Right, sorry. That should be

pacman -Rdd kactivities4
pacman -S kactivities-frameworks --asdeps

This makes more sense. Someone could tell if it's correct? I don't want to break my system or have problems later

runical · 2015-05-08 19:47:54

Arojas is one of the developers responsible for packaging KDE software, so you can trust him on this.

The commands removes the activities package for KDE4 and installs the plasma version. Just make sure to set up SDDM (if applicable) and remove orphans and broken packages after the update.

Thanks then, I'll do that.
So fierst set up SDDM (uninstall KDM?) and then remove orphans [pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq) or yaourt -Qtd?] and then remove orphan packages (how?)
Maybe the run pacman -Qen to delete unused packages

Thanks

Just update normally after installing kactivities-frameworks. You don't need to install SDDM unless you plan to switch to Plasma 5. And if you do, you should do it after having updated your system.

So this is what I have to do and nothing else:

pacman -Rdd kactivities4
pacman -S kactivities-frameworks --asdeps
pacman -Syu

Any help please?

Maybe you can try (logged out of kde/kdm, in a tty shell)

pacman -Rsc kactivities4
pacman -S plasma kf5 kf5-aids

That should remove kactivities4 and anything that depends on it, then install plasma5.
