Details

I try to upgrade kde4.3 from 4.2.4, and I confirm all *-meta-* packages replace notice, but pacman said
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Then I remove kde by pacman -Rsnc and reinstall kde. When finish, I can't login kde
look xession-error

finally, I try to install kde-meta. It successed.
I notice that install kde-meta will include 'kdebinding-smoke', but kde not include it.

Is there something wrong with kde packages?
This task depends upon

update:
the 'pacman-color' packages(need pacman=3.2.2) cause the pacman error

Which Qt version are you using? Maybe your mirror is not fully synced.
Comment by Rei (chloerei) - Wednesday, 05 August 2009, 13:46 GMT
qt 4.5.2-5
well……I solve this 'problem' by install kde-meta. I'm no sure it's a bug or my mistake.:P

Very strange; kde and kde-meta should install the same packages. Could you attach your pacman.log; maybe gzip it before. Or if it is really big run tail -3000 /var/log/pacman.log > pacman.log.tail and attach that file instead.

status on this? No problems here. I guess that this task can be closed.

Well, at least its not a KDE packaging problem. Either a messed up system or a pacman bug.
