Details

Pacman often shows duplicated entries when installing a group, possibly on other scenarios as well:

[root@raviv2 sweiss]# pacman -S kde
:: group kde:
arts kde-common kdeaccessibility kdeaddons kdeadmin kdeartwork kdebase
kdebindings kdeedu kdegames kdegraphics kdelibs kdemultimedia kdenetwork
kdepim kdesdk kdetoys kdeutils arts gwenview kdeaccessibility kdeaddons
kdeadmin kdeartwork kdebase kdebindings kdeedu kdegames kdegraphics kdelibs
kdemultimedia kdenetwork kdepim kdesdk kdetoys kdeutils mdnsresponder
Install whole content? [Y/n]

As you can see there are several entries presented more than once. In case of using an up-to-date version, it will also verify if you wish to upgrade numerous times for the same package.

Thanks.
This task depends upon

I believe it has to do with kde beta in tpowa's repo. Seems that pacman doesn't like two full kde package sets in different repos. And I can't blame him for that :-)

Hmm that does make sense indeed. Thanks for clarifying.
