Trying to install Gnome 3

Hi, I am trying to install G3 but I am having a bit of an issue.

Every thing downloads ok but when it finally checks for file conflicts I get this error:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
wicd: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wicd/__init__.pyo exists in filesystem
wicd: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wicd/backend.pyo exists in filesystem
wicd: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wicd/configmanager.pyo exists in filesystem

wicd: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wicd/wnettools.pyo exists in filesystem
wicd: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wicd/wpath.pyo exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

What do I need to do to fix this?

Re: Trying to install Gnome 3

It's a problem with Wicd, normally you can force update wicd and after that install gnome as you would normally do.

pacman -Syy
pacman -Sf wicd
