I had the same thing but I use yaourt for the AUR support and at the bottom showed that kdebase-plasma wanted to pull in kdebase-workspace. I just removed kdebase-plasma and was fine. -----Original Message----- From: arch-general [mailto:arch-general-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Damjan Georgievski Sent: Monday, November 24, 2014 1:25 PM To: Arch Linux General Discussion Subject: kdebase-workspace and kdeplasma-addons-frameworks are in conflict I have KDE Plasma 5 installed, and it needed kdebase-workspace removed. Today when I try to update the system I get a unresolvable conflict. $ sudo pacman -Su :: Starting full system upgrade... resolving dependencies... looking for inter-conflicts... :: kdebase-workspace and kdeplasma-addons-frameworks are in conflict. Remove kdeplasma-addons-frameworks? [y/N] error: unresolvable package conflicts detected error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies) :: kdebase-workspace and kdeplasma-addons-frameworks are in conflict The general question is, how can I see what package is pulling kdebase-workspace? -- damjan
