[solved] Slim themes conflict with e2fsprogs

I tried installing a couple of slim themes, and got a message saying...

util-Linux-ng conflicts with e2fsprogs. Remove e2fsprogs?

I am currently on my desktop trying to install arch on a old laptop.

More information is required.  Do you mean e2fsprogs? Which slim theme are you attempting to install?

oops yes, e2fsprogs is correct, and i have attempted to install slim-theme-burning-arch 1.0-1, slim-themes, and archlinux-themes-slim. I tried to follow the tutorial first.

I have discovered e2fsprogs has to deal with Ext2 Filesystem Utilities, i have installed Ext4, therefore I might try to remove the programs that are dependent of e2fsprogs. I would like to receive some more suggestions before I do anything.

Edit: It also is used for Ext4, so scratch that idea.

pacman -Syu first, then get your slim themes.

I just upgraded and tried to install the new themes, worked like a charm.
