[SOLVED] XFCE 4.6 installation conflicts: xfce-mcs-manager obsolete.

I am running Arch Linux on LXDE and would like to try the brand new XFCE 4.6. It seems most of the packages have arrived in the extra repo but when I try:

# pacman -S xfce4

I get:

looking for inter-conflicts...
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: xfce4-settings: conflicts with xfce-mcs-manager

I don't find xfce-mcs-manager version 4.6.0.

I just had a look on xfce wiki:

xfce-mcs-manager

This component is obsolete (superseded by xfconf) and will be removed in 4.6!

The dependency needs to be removed.

Re: [SOLVED] XFCE 4.6 installation conflicts: xfce-mcs-manager obsolete.

I said no to install the whole xfce4 group and then said no to following packages:

:: Install libxfce4mcs from group xfce4? [Y/n] n
:: Install xfce-mcs-manager from group xfce4? [Y/n] n
:: Install xfce-mcs-plugins from group xfce4? [Y/n] n

and proceeded to install and it works. Posting this running XFCE 4.6 on Arch Linux.
