Details

Summary and Info:

Name : pacman
Version : 4.0.3-7

Steps to Reproduce:

Noting "sudo pacman -Su" gives
...
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: kdesdk-dev-scripts and kdesdk-scripts are in conflict

then, "pacman -Sii kdesdk-scripts" gives only
Repository : extra
Name : kdesdk-scripts
Version : 4.10.0-2
...

indicating that there are no dependencies on package "kdesdk-scripts", where "man pacman" has

SYNC OPTIONS
-i, --info
Display information on a given sync database package. Passing two --info or -i flags
will also display those packages in all repositories that depend on this package.

but then, "sudo pacman -R kdesdk-scripts" gives

checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kde-meta-kdesdk: requires kdesdk-scripts

indicating that there _is_ a dependency upon package "kdesdk-scripts". Presumably, "pacman -Sii kdesdk-scripts" is in error.

So... when pacman -Syu asks to replace "kde-scripts" with "kde-dev-scripts", say "y". Nothing does depend on kde-scripts.
