how to switch between conflict packages?

Hi,

Recently, I want to switch to freetype2-ubuntu from freetype2-cleartype. They are conflicting each other. However, a lot of other packages depends on freetype2-cleartype, so I can not remove it now. I guess such dependence can be moved to freetype2-ubuntu. But the problem is how to install freetype2-ubuntu without removing the other freetype2-cleartype dependent packages? Can anybody help me?

Use the pacman -d switch:

pacman -Rd freetype2-cleartype
