Upgrade issues (conflicting packages)

Hello again,
Lately I tried to upgrade with `pacman -Syu`, but I've run into this message at the very beginning:

:: Synchronising package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 multilib is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace attica with extra/attica-qt4? [Y/n] y
:: Replace java-common with extra/java-runtime-common? [Y/n] y
:: Replace libaccounts-qt with extra/libaccounts-qt4? [Y/n] y
:: Replace signon with extra/signon-qt4? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: libksysguard and kdebase-workspace are in conflict

So I thought I should get rid of one of these, and I've chosen `libksysguard`, though I had no Idea why would they exist simultaneously on the system when they're in conflict. However, `pacman -Rdds libksysguard` didn't help: even though package and all its dependencies are not in the system anymore, I still run into the very same issue. Any suggestions?

Re: Upgrade issues (conflicting packages)

What does "pacman -Qi libksysguard" return?

pacman -Rdd is usually a bad idea. You should have done pacman -Rc instead. Check which package is trying to pull libksysguard as a dependency and remove it (use pacman --debug)

That is most likely Plasma Workspace. I've removed it using -Rdds as well.

error: package `libksysguard` was not found
