KDE SC 4.4 installation how-tos :)

Hi,

It looks reasonable to put similar problems into one thread (IMHO, at least ).

My particular problem is this:

$ sudo pacman -Sy --asdeps qt
...
$ sudo pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace kdelibs-experimental with extra/kdelibs? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
warning: provider package was selected (phonon-gstreamer provides phonon-backend)
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kde-meta-kdepim: requires kdepim-akonadiconsole
$

The same result with mirrors.kernel. Any ideas?

Had the same. Worse, after upgrading qt my old kde wouldn't start anymore (and I cleaned my cache just for the fun of it )

Solution:

pacman -R kde-meta-kdepim
pacman -Syu

Re: KDE SC 4.4 installation how-tos :)

pacman -Rc qt
pacman -Syu
pacman -S kde

yes this IS maybe a little radical, but solved the issue for me

pacman -R kde-meta-kdepim
pacman -Syu

It almost worked in my case. Not quite, unfortunately .

Re: KDE SC 4.4 installation how-tos :)

pacman -Rc qt
pacman -Syu
pacman -S kde

This one worked only too well, just as it should . Among other things I got some plasmoids from AUR killed, naturally enough, as they depend on qt. Now I can't get rid of their ghosts on my desktop. They aren't present in the 'Add Widget' dialog and they don't have working close buttons. How am I supposed to get rid of them?

UPD:

After a couple of reboots the offending plasmoids somehow got lost

Re: KDE SC 4.4 installation how-tos :)

for me:
pacman -Sy --asdeps qt
pacman -Sfu
(pacman -Su wrote, there are previous conflicting files (cmakelists), but upgrade is upgrade, I knew, there could be no problem)

@Llama: Sowwy, don't use much plasmoids ... glad to hear that it finally worked out !
