[SOLVED] plasma updates break dependencies for libkcddb5

This morning I had a problem with dependencies for libkcddb5 and had to remove packages as per:

$ sudo pacman -R k3b libkcddb audiocd-kio kde-multimedia-meta kde-applications-meta

and then I could do a normal update, and then install k3b back in but the two kde-*-meta packages could not be reinstalled:

$ sudo pacman -Syu kde-multimedia-meta kde-applications-meta:: Synchronising package databases...
 core-testing is up to date
 core is up to date
 extra-testing is up to date
 extra is up to date
 gc-repo is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...

:: The following packages cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      kde-multimedia-meta  kde-applications-meta

:: Do you want to skip the above packages for this upgrade? [y/N] 

Does this mean that the two meta-packages  kde-multimedia-meta kde-applications-meta: are no longer valid for install?

Edit: This looks like there is a package dependency error for:

$ sudo pacman -Syu audiocd-kio
:: Synchronising package databases...
 core-testing is up to date
 core is up to date
 extra-testing is up to date
 extra is up to date

:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      audiocd-kio

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] 
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: unable to satisfy dependency 'libkcddb' required by audiocd-kio

Hopefully this will get fixed before long.

I removed audiocd-kio and did a normal update

sudo pacman -Syu
:: Paketdatenbanken werden synchronisiert …

 multilib ist aktuell
:: Vollständige Systemaktualisierung wird gestartet …
:: libkcddb durch extra/libkcddb5 ersetzen? [J/n] j

Warnung: Kann "libkcddb" nicht auflösen (eine Abhängigkeit von "audiocd-kio")
:: Das folgende Paket kann aufgrund nicht auflösbarer Abhängigkeiten nicht aktualisiert werden:

sudo pacman -R audiocd-kio
