[SOLVED] kdebase-workspace: conflicts with kdemod-kde-common

Hi! My pacman -Syu failed today: Here there is the output (of a retrial):

:: Synchronizing package databases...
kdemod-core is up to date
kdemod-extragear is up to date
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace qtmod with kdemod-core/kdemod-kde-common? [Y/n] Y
:: Replace guidance-power-manager with extra/kdebase-workspace? [Y/n] Y
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: kdebase-workspace: conflicts with kdemod-kde-common

Any suggestions on how to get this update right?

Try:

pacman -Rd gtmod
pacman -S qt

#Qtmod not needed anymore

pacman -R guidance-power-manager  /or pacman -Rcsn ....
pacman -Syu kdemod                        /or pacman -Syu kdemod-complete

also backup/ remove ~/.kde4 to start with clean config, especially if you have your own plasmoids.

#powerdevil is included in kde now, so other inferior powermanagers might conflict with it.

You are mixing KDE from [extra] with KDEmod, that cannot work...

want a modular and tweaked KDE for arch? try kdemod

Mikko, thanks, that worked! I also removed some plasmoid scripts pacman warned me about and now I enjoy this 4.2 thing!

funkyou, I do not understand. I installed KDEmod, not KDE.

Right there you are choosing to use part of KDE from [extra], while having other KDE libraries installed from [kdemod-core].  Just because pacman asks you if you want to replace one package with another doesn't mean that you should.

Do you mean I should have not replaced it? How would I undo it? Just pacman -R + pacman -S?
