Do you use testing? If yes pacman cannot handle groups across repos very well. (that's a known pacman bug)

Yes, I use testing. I pacman and dependency conflicts in groups definitely aren't friendly with eachother.

This is a duplicate, please close.

I know I searched for a similar bug. Wonder how I missed it...
