How to upgrade to KDE 4.3

Dear all,

I use kde-unstable repository before.
Today, I want to upgrade my kde environment to kde 4.3 via core and extra repository, it said ...

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)                                             
kdeplasma-addons-applets-bball: /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_bball.so exists in filesystem           
kdeplasma-addons-applets-bball: /usr/share/apps/bball/bball.svgz exists in filesystem

kdeplasma-addons-applets-bball: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/bball.png exists in filesystem
....................
...........

It seems that some old file has been existed and the installation cannot be taken successfully.

How could I do~?

Thanks

Run "pacman -Qo /usr/share/apps/bball/bball.svgz" and if it belongs to some package, remove that package. If not, use -f pacman switch.

Re: How to upgrade to KDE 4.3

So, you did use kde-unstable or testing but did not read arch-dev-public? Remove kdeplasma-addons and reinstall it after the update.
