remove package ignoring dependencies [SOLVED]

roginovicci · 2011-09-20 07:46:10

I'm trying to remove package ignoring dependencies. But! There is no answer in wiki! There is a key in man page:
TRANSACTION OPTIONS (APPLY TO -S, -R AND -U)
-d, --nodeps
Skips dependency version checks. Package names are still checked. Normally, pacman will always check a package’s
dependency fields to ensure that all dependencies are installed and there are no package conflicts in the system.
Specify this option twice to skip all dependency checks.
But it not works:

pacman -Rd mplayer
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdemultimedia-mplayerthumbs: requires mplayer

What in the world should I do to remove mplayer?

Just do this if any one is looking:
pacman -Rd --nodeps mplayer
