Hello. I tried to upgrade my x86 arch installation this morning by running "sudo pacman -Syu". Here is the output:

:: libbaloo4 and baloo are in conflict (baloo<=4.14.0-1)So does anyone know how I can fix this problem so that I can update all the packages on my system?
I don't have any baloo packages installed right now. I ran "pacman -Q | grep baloo" and it showed nothing.
I looked into it a little bit:
I'm using KDE, and some of their packages depend on baloo-widgets (which must be a recent change), so that is probably the root cause of my problem.
baloo-widgets is at 4.14.0-1.
baloo is at version 4.14.0-1.
baloo4-widgets is at version 4.14.0-1, provides replaces and conflicts with baloo-widgets,
libbaloo4 is at version 4.14.0-3, and conflicts with baloo<=4.14.0-1
baloo4 is at version 4.14.0-3, conflicts with baloo<=4.14.0-1, and is supposed to provide and replace baloo.
The three baloo4 packages were updated less than 24 hours ago by Andrea Scarpino (2014-09-13 07:35 UTC). I'm not sure when they were created.
This thread from 11 hours ago seems to be related: baloo4 update and not more necessary.
I don't update my Arch system very often. It's possible that the last time I updated was before 2014-08-20, which was the last time the old baloo packages were updated.
I tried to install baloo4-widgets manually but got a weird error:
$ sudo pacman -S baloo4-widgets

Hm. "sudo pacman -Syu --ignore=baloo" looks like it might work. I'll try running that and post an update when it's done.

OK, the solution is to run:
sudo pacman -Syu --ignore=baloo
then
sudo pacman -Syu
The second command will ask you if you want to replace baloo-widgets with extra/baloo4-widgets and you should say yes.

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but I am trying to install KDE on a fresh arch installation and experiencing the same error. The --ignore=baloo causes several problems for me (missing title bar, etc.) . Any hints on how to fix this? Or do I have to wait until KDE is again installable on arch? -.- (Any hints when this will be?)

Baloo 4.14.0-1 needs to be removed from the repo. Open a bug report to notify the maintainer

Removing a package from a repository doesn't seem like a very nice thing to do, but is that how things are done in the Arch world? Does it need to be removed so that all the packages listing a dependency on "baloo" will use "baloo4" instead? I would prefer if packages never got deleted so I could restore my system to any arbitrary point in the past.
Offline
Yes of course packages need to be removed when they become obsolete. Do you really expect every package that has ever been in the repos to stay there forever?
