Upgrade--caught in a loop
Just tried to do a full system upgrade.
First, it prompts for permission to replace about 10 things. I say OK
Next, it says that "kdelibs needs phonon"
I attempt to install phonon. Now it says that phonon conflicts with qt--OK to remove qt?
I say yes, and it tells me about 10 things that depend on qt!!!
At this point, I go back and try saying NO to the initial list. This makes no difference.
Is there anyway out of this other than manually installing or removing everything that it squawks about? NOTE: My impression is that this kind of thing is a relatively recent issue with Arch--ie just in the last 2 years.
I first ran "pacman Syy" and my mirrors have been set up using "rankmirrors"

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Upgrade--caught in a loop
That did it!!
It's not obvious to me how the system would get in such a state---also, my 64-bit system had no such issue.
Regardless--Thank You!!
