[Solved] Removing plasma desktop via pacman results in endless loop

Burning Smile · 2016-09-24 21:31:27

I am trying to remove the kde plasma desktop that I installed to tryout. When attempting to remove it I got the following resulting in a endless loop of not being able to remove it. Any ideas?

[david@BurningSmilesArch ~]$ sudo pacman -Rns plasma
[sudo] password for david:
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: arc-dark-suite: removing plasma-desktop breaks dependency 'plasma-desktop'
[david@BurningSmilesArch ~]$ sudo pacman -Rns plasma-desktop
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: arc-dark-suite: removing plasma-desktop breaks dependency 'plasma-desktop'
[david@BurningSmilesArch ~]$

Read the output. Pacman is telling you that you can't remove plasma/plasma-desktop because arc-dark-suite depends on it. Either remove arc-dark-suite as well, or use pacman's cascade option to do this for you.

Moving to pacman issues.
