Re: cant install xfce 4.10

That worked for me. Testing is uncommented in pacman.conf. Is this a bug in pacman? System is up-to-date... ?

Re: cant install xfce 4.10

Post your pacman.conf.
If the [testing] repo is listed first, pacman should install the packages from testing.

# PGP signature checking
# NOTE: None of this will work without running `pacman-key --init` first.

# If you wish to check signatures but avoid local sign and trust issues, use

# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

Re: cant install xfce 4.10

I encountered the same problem.
Just

--ignore xfce-utils
