Err umm, DR, umm:
Did you miss this part, or are we somehow not communicating?
[18:02 supersff:/home/david] # pacman -Rs kde k3b k9copy kdiff3
kde not found, searching for group...
:: group kde:
kdebase-runtime kdelibs kdemultimedia
Remove whole content? [Y/n]
then
[18:21 supersff:/home/david] # pacman -Q | grep kde | grep -v kdemod3
<nothing>
pacman -Rs kdemod3-complete basket compizconfig-backend-kconfig filelight
ksensors qcad
then I even confirmed with:
pacman -Q -s | grep kde
<nothing>
Then and only then did I
pacman -S kde
and it still blew up with 20000+ conflicts
What else could I have done??
