can't pacman -Syu conflicts between qt and phonon

Tried to update with pacman -Syu and got the following

if I don't replace phonon I get

:: qt: conflicts with phonon

can't find out anything about phonon and qt other than phonon is a backend for qt. So I am caught in a loop.

Re: can't pacman -Syu conflicts between qt and phonon

amarok-svn (from AUR) is deprecated in favor of amarok-git (from AUR). And amarok-git depends on qt, not phonon If you are using amarok2-git from other source - contact maintainer why it depends on phonon.

what he said ^^

with the addition that phonon is now part of the qt package.

Re: can't pacman -Syu conflicts between qt and phonon

I got amarok-svn 992202-1 from AUR and if I try to replace phonon I get

:: Replace phonon with extra/qt? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: amarok2-svn: requires phonon>=4.1

If i dont try to replace phonon first  and try after a warning I get

:: qt conflicts with phonon. Remove phonon? [Y/n] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: amarok2-svn: requires phonon>=4.1

and if I try not replacing phonon at all I get

:: qt conflicts with phonon. Remove phonon? [Y/n] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: qt: conflicts with phonon
so how can I get pacman updated without removing amarok2-svn

Re: can't pacman -Syu conflicts between qt and phonon

Qt does not have a versioned provides on phonon.   So....  remove amarok2-svn, update, the rebuild amarok2-svn (or amarok2-git as that seems the latest...) without the phonon dep and install it.
