[SOLVED] unable to update nepomuk-core requires baloo!!

Hi

for the past 3 days I have been unable to update & when I try I get the following:

 
:: Synchronising package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace kfilemetadata with extra/kfilemetadata4? [Y/n] 
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: nepomuk-core: requires baloo

a cursory search shows there is no package directly called "baloo"

extra/baloo-frameworks 5.6.2-1
    A framework for searching and managing metadata
extra/baloo4 4.14.3-2 [installed: 4.14.3-1]
    A KDE4 framework for searching and managing metadata
extra/baloo4-akonadi 4.14.3-2 [installed: 4.14.3-1]
    Baloo resource for Akonadi
extra/baloo4-widgets 4.14.3-1
    Widgets for Baloo
extra/libbaloo4 4.14.3-2 [installed: 4.14.3-1]
    Libraries for baloo4
extra/milou 5.2.2-1 (plasma)
    A dedicated search application built on top of Baloo

as you can see I do have baloo4 installed which was updated recently

oddly when I search for nepomuk-core & nepomuk I get no results!

How do i resolve this & upgrade?
Is this part of the KDE framework?
no I don't use KDE (perhaps 1 or 2 apps that pulled this as a dep) so I have no clue as to why this is affecting me.

Re: [SOLVED] unable to update nepomuk-core requires baloo!!

Searching for nepomuk-core and nepomuk gets no results because they're in the AUR now.

baloo-frameworks "provides" baloo.
