The upgrade is failing for two reasons: first, kdeadmin-system-config-printer-kde and kdeutils-printer-applet are looking for system-config-printer as a dependency. Pacman does not realise that it is provided by system-config-printer-common. Why?

Also, if I try to install system-config-printer-common, pacman fails because the package shares files with system-config-printer. If I make a pacman -Si system-config-printer-common, it actually shows that it replaces system-config-printer, so why doesn't pacman replace instead of detecting colliding files?

Thank you
This task depends upon

Is this by any chance related to the bug  FS#16046 ? I am seeing similar issues, but I can't even go as far as you, because I seem to be missing 'pysmbc' in my repo data.
