[SOLVED]Unable to upgrade system: "musical dependencies" with kde...

I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules or anything by posting this. I'm not a frequent forum user.

My problem is that various kde components are interdependent and won't allow for me to uninstall anything to get past a dependency check that fails during upgrade

$ sudo yaourt -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Replace kdelibs-experimental with extra/kdelibs? [Y/n] Y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
:: kde-meta-kdepim: requires kdepim-akonadiconsole
missing dependency for gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins : x264=20100207
missing dependency for pulseaudio : rtkit

So I tried removing kdepim-akonadiconsole package, but this just caused more dependency checks to prevent me from working around this dependency. I tried doing the same thing for the new batch of packages that were depended upon, since they were all KDE-related, but it just generated even more packages that were depended upon, and somewhere in the chain it made its way back to kde-meta-kdepim.

I've decided I want to use GNOME only, save for digiKam which I can reinstall later and have dependency checks include packages as needed. I don't mind getting rid of all the KDE suite, but it won't let me uninstall the collection either

missing dependency for gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins : x264=20100207
missing dependency for pulseaudio : rtkit

I can still use

$sudo pacman -S <package name>

for most of the packages available, but every now and then dependency resolution fails.

I'll post more information by request.

*Note: there is a kernel upgrade, but this shouldn't define whether the upgrade fails or not.

Obviously this did not change a thing.
I read some of the manual page for yaourt and decided to try a new operation:yaourt -Sybu --aur
It had the same problem but it continued to check the AUR repositories after it failed. There was one that would have been updated but for some reason it won't do it, however that is another topic, not to be discussed here. I think that chromium may have to be updated without sudoing. My results for the -Sybu --aur attempt:

Re: [SOLVED]Unable to upgrade system: "musical dependencies" with kde...

SOLVED:

http://www.archlinux.org/news/483/

started reading an UNRELATED post about a problem upgrading and Phonon dependency.

Um...do administrators mark these as SOLVED or do I? sorry for doubleposting, but I don't know if admins become aware of solution finding unless this gets bumped.

**********
EDIT: This was NOT solved by the instructions/workaround shown in the link above (http://www.archlinux.org/news/483/).

I had to use a little brain power to figure out how to fix this.  I tried their recommendation a few times and found it did not work.

To fix:

$ sudo pacman -R kde-meta-kdepim

THEN you can go ahead and do what the article says to do:

If you have problems updating kde-meta-kdepim, run "pacman -S --asdeps kdepim-runtime"

The problem was that the meta package was bundling packages together that didn't like each other. Someone may want to issue some sort of warning/query to the maintainer of the meta package. I'm still trying to do other things (school) so I don't have time to figure out all the forum/wiki/AUR things quite yet. If I have time I'll do it, but I can't guarantee anything right now (almost getting kicked out of school is not a good idea).  My final output is show below:

just a guess: OP means original post?
