Upgrade issue with regular KDE??

I have two systems with KDE - a notebook and a desktop.  Both exhibit the exact same behaviour:
pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace kdelibs-experimental with extra/kdelibs? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc-extras with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc-kbd with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc-module-init-tools with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
:: Replace klibc-udev with core/mkinitcpio? [Y/n]
:: Replace pil with extra/python-imaging? [Y/n]
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdelibs: requires phonon

And it can't find phonon -- what's broken?  I always do a pacman -Sy before upgrade.  Been using arch for years so I'm not a newbie.

Thx
Norm

Doh sorry everyone -  didn't see it and I did search but clearly my searching skills today are lacking.

Actually, I just tried it and it still gives the same errors -

pacman -Sy --asdeps qt
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
arch-games is up to date
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: qtscriptgenerator: requires phonon

That did it - was it assumed I would know to do that?

Re: Upgrade issue with regular KDE??

Since that command was not part of the release notice, then yes, you were supposed to know how to do that. Don't ask me how you were supposed to know, I didn't know either. But when the admin points to you a release notice that has insufficient information, then yes, you were supposed to know that. Sigh.
