Nobody here, who can help me? I have tried the official Repo (ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/), but the errors are the same.

Wait until kdemod devs has updated their packages.

Short term solution, remove mplayerthumbs
Long term solution, wait for KDEmod to provide the update that replaces it.

Also, read this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/For … te#Bumping

Okay thanks, i am wondering because i've read some storys from people using arch and already did succesfully upgrade to kde 4.3. Is that because they are using kde instead of kdemod, or are they using the testing repository?

Sorry, i know this. But i've destroyed my whole system with an uncomplete update this morning. I don't know exactly what all happens, i wasn't completly awake while i've started the upgrade with shaman. I did a reboot then and landed on the shell. KDM seens to be uninstalled and every kde app does not start because of missing librarys. The only graphical thing which works is twm which opens xterms with white font on white background (yeah!) Anyway i could start a browser to do some research about that problem. I am a little bit nervous sitting in front of twm, because this is my first major issue with arch, and i am using it for almost a year.

Maybe i should shutdown the computer and try it later. Thanks!

Yes, if you had the stock KDE 4.2 installed, the upgrade was smooth. There were some users who experienced problems with oxygen-icons, but after its installation, everything went OK.

For KDEmod 4.3, visit chakra-project.org/bbs .

Yep.  Extra KDE works like a charm.

KDEMod was evidently dependent on several Extra-KDE modules previously.  When the modules were split it broke KDEMod4.3.  They need to update/fix their PKGBUILDs.  See the Chakra boards for more info.
