Reproduce:

`pacman -S deepin` or `pacman -S deepin-anything-arch deepin-anything-dkms`

Attempting to install the deepin *group* attempts to install both of these packages, even though they are alternative implementations of the DEEPIN-ANYTHING-MODULE provides which is a dependency of one of the deepin desktop components.

IMO these underlying utilities should not be part of the group itself. Users don't care about installing deepin-anything-dkms, they just care about installing deepin-anything (or really, deepin-file-manager). It doesn't make sense to list it as part of the group, or mark the package as explicitly installed. Certainly, it makes no sense to have packages which conflict that are both part of the same group.

The only thing I would like to do is to be able to install Deepin DE. Arch Linux wiki says to install deepin group, it's impossible for now.

I did try to install all packages from the group but deepin-anything-dkms (so -arch one was installed), but I couldn't launch the DE (don't know precisely if this was the reason though)

I have removed group= lines for both implementations. For the DE starting issue, please take a look and ensure you have done the steps in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Deepin_Desktop_Environment#Starting

Confirmed, it was driver fault, not of those packages.
