Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  This is an issue with pacman's conflict resolution

You need to remove kdebase-workspace first with pacman -Rc, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE#Plasma_5

hmm, maybe kde-meta-kdebase and plasma-meta should conflict?
Comment by Antonio Rojas (arojas) - Thursday, 29 January 2015, 08:43 GMT
That would be a partial solution only, it would have to conflict with every package that depends on kdebase-workspace. IMO the "real" fix should be in pacman: it should offer you the choice to remove the conflicting package and all packages that depend on it.

Sorry it took that long to give a feedback.
Removing the packages with pacman -Rc did the trick.
I just read until the uninstall package and used the -Rsu flags at first.
Sorry about that.
I think this can be closed, but maybe think on a smoother transition from plasma to plasma-next.

Best,
Marcelo
