I tried to install digikam but pacman returned "Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded."
How to find the errors ?

check /var/log/pacman.log if pacman does not output them

The errors are actually printed to the screen...

cat /var/log/pacman.log does not give any tangible result.
The o/p of pacman is quite long and unsuitable for post.
I find no errors reported but for the last error msg.

Use "code" tags and it should be fine.

The o/p of /var/log/pacmna.log for current day is:

We can not help without the output... The actual cause of the error will be in there.

how about pacman -S digikam > error.txt ? then post error.txt

Try "pacman -S digikam &> error.txt" so stderr gets pointed to the file too.

ooops :-)

That makes the shell hang.
No o/p is obtained.

Add a noconfirm there:
pacman -S --noconfirm digikam &> error.txt
Offline
That returns nothing and returned to bash.

Now put the content of error.txt here between code tags
edit: Allan was quicker... I shouldn't open so many tabs at the same time

Post the whole output. You should have a targets line, information about the download size, etc...

I could not post the full file content since that is not possible. So I had to edit the relevant portitons only. The file size is about 465 Kb.

That is the relevant line... but you cut out what is actually conflicting so we can not help you.
