Strange issue with pacman update

I updated today and got a strange error.

Here are the lines that confuse me:
:: kdelibs: requires phonon
:: phonon conflicts with qt. Remove qt? [Y/n] y
:: phonon-gstreamer: requires qt
:: phonon: requires qt
:: kdelibs: requires qt>=4.5.3-4

So to install kdelibs it wants phonon, phonon wants to remove qt but phonon depends on qt?????

Very confused right now. Maybe it just needs explaining to me or I need a slap for missing a wiki page somewhere.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Strange issue with pacman update

I am still seeing the same error after pacman -Sy --asdeps qt

:: qtscriptgenerator: requires phonon

Any suggestions?
