I know all the warning about not using -f, but after reviewing the conflicts
being icons and other misc. files, I decided it was time for the 'nuclear
option'. So I reared back and let the following fly:
pacman -Sy -f kde kde-extragear
and just hit return, return, return, return until it started installing.
Just my $0.02, but bad idea. I'd think it's quite possible that you'd
wind up with stray files hanging around by forcing pacman like this.
It's never a good idea to leave system/app files hanging around that
pacman doesn't know about, since you can wind up with weird file
conflicts down the road.
