upgrade to kdemod-complete conflict issue

Hi, I am getting the following error when trying to upgrade my laptop from kdemod to kdemod-complete.

warning: kdemod-oxygen-icons-4.3.4-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
warning: kdemod-partitionmanager-1.0.0-6 is up to date -- reinstalling
warning: kdemod-phonon-backend-xine-4.3.1-8 is up to date -- reinstalling

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: kdemod-kdm-themes-testing-chakra-galaxair: conflicts with kdemod-kdm-themes-chakra-galaxair

During the upgrade I ran out of room on my root partition so I copied all the kdemod* packages from /var/cache/pacman/pkg to /home ... ran pacman -Scc to clean the cache ... copied the kdemod packages back to /var/cache/pacman/pkg and then did a pacman -Sy kdemod-complete. It was then I got the above error.

I have tried installing and un-installing both themes packages mentioned above, but nothing works ..

Anyone any idea what to do next?

Re: upgrade to kdemod-complete conflict issue

Anyone? The only way I could get around this was to ignore this package during the install ... i.e pass -ignore "packagename" to pacman.

I would really like to know why pacman is pulling in a "testing" version of the theme when I do not have the testing repository enabled ..

Re: upgrade to kdemod-complete conflict issue

I suspect it might be a bug with the packaging. You'd probably get a better answer posting over on the chakra forums, the devs are usually pretty good about responding there.

Will do, thanks ..
