mutter46 and mutter47 are in conflict

Hello. I am trying to upgrade my Arch system but due to unresolvable dependency conflicts I am unable to do so. Two versions of "mutter" seem to be causing issues. Unfortunately I cannot remove the package because it is required by gnome-shell, which is essential to use GNOME, my desktop environment. Is there a way I could solve this?

Re: mutter46 and mutter47 are in conflict

If you're using GNOME, why do you have gala installed? That's where the problem is coming from.

Edit: wingpanel as well. You can't have pantheon installed alongside GNOME.
