Details

Summary and Info:
-----------------
There is 2 conflicting packages:
- gnome-themes (from extra)
- clearlooks (from community)

Both contains the same file "/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/index.theme" and can't be installed simultaneously.

(It happens, when I have tried to install full Gnome "atop" of Xfce4+clealooks.)


Steps to Reproduce:
-------------------
Variant A) Install gnome-themes then install clearlooks.
Variant B) Install clearlooks then install gnome-themes.

and you'll see something like that

# pacman -S clearlooks

Looks like clearlooks conflicts with an official package - perhaps it's obsoleted by changes in gnome-themes?

Package clearlooks is very useful, when you want to use this theme for GTK apps in Xfce (in my case) and don't want any Gnome stuff. On the other hand, both packages depends only on gtk-engines...

If gnome-themes contain the same clearlooks (and if it will work with Xfce!), package clearlooks must be excluded from repository. Or gnome-themes and clearlooks must be marked as conflicting packages, if it possible.

Yeah.... that's why I assigned the bug to the right category and the proper maintainer
