Pacman -Syu error: 'libbeable conflicts with kdemod-beagle' [RESOLVED]

I've getting this error when I try to update:

[root@archlinux ~]# pacman -Syu

It's this last one about 'libbeagle' conflicting with 'kdemod-beagle'.  If I type 'y' or if I type 'n' - either way it still spits out errors and doesn't update ANYTHING (300+MB).  How do I deal with this package conflict?

btw, I have KDE(mod), Gnome, E17 and XFCE installed on my system although I'm finding I'm using Gnome increasingly more often than the others, so If I have to remove KDE, E17 and XFCE I'm not too bothered but I'd rather not have to if there's another way around the above conflict problem.  This is the first time it's happened to me so I don't know what to do.  Any help you can give is appreciated.

Did you try removing kdemod-beagle first?

Yes, but I got another error saying it's a dependency of slab-cvs.  I tried to 'pacman -Rf kdemod-beagle' but it wouldn't let me.  I wish I knew more about pacman

I'm getting a bit fed up with it, to be honest.  My install hasn't been updated for about a week because of the problem.  I'm thinking of uninstalling kdemod (KDE) and uninstalling E17 and XFCE while I'm at it.  I never use those WMs/DEs anyway.

Re: Pacman -Syu error: 'libbeable conflicts with kdemod-beagle' [RESOLVED]

from the kdemod-beagle PKGBUILD:

conflicts=('beagle' 'libbeagle')
provides=('beagle' 'libbeagle')

so installing beagle and libbeagle you should theoretically be able to get rid of kdemod-beagle.

what you should do is:

pacman -Rf --nodeps kdemod-beagle
pacman -S libbeagle beagle
pacman -Syu

From the kdemod-kdebase-kicker PKGBUILD I see it depends on libbeagle, so that should be no problem. If all dpendencies in kdemod point to libbeagle and beagle (as should be!), there is no problem. If a package points to kdemod-beagle, you should change the PKGBUILD for this package, or ask the maintainer of that package (funkyou) to do that.
