Here is the situation after the difficulty I had installing kde-unstable on the x86_64 box where I finally just installed with '-f', I have the exact setup on an i686 box where I am trying to install kde-unstable, but this time finding a way to do it without resorting to the '-f' option. On the box, I have kdemod3 installed and configured and I have never specifically installed kde4 from anywhere (I guess I got it by default with the Arch install).
So far, all packages for kde-unstable have been downloaded to the i686 box when I tried to install kde-unstable with 'pacman -Sy kde kde-extragear'. There were 20000+ lines of conflicts of the following type:
Egads! How many times do I have to say it?!?!? 1) First UNINSTALL any existing KDE packages. i.e., repeat: pacman -Rs kde-<whatever> 2) Then, install KDE from unstable. i.e., pacman -S kde Sheesh! :-) DR
