DR, List
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:
error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
/usr/share/apps/color-schemes/Zion.colors exists in both 'kdeaccessibility-
colorschemes' and 'kdeaccessibility'
/usr/share/apps/color-schemes/ZionReversed.colors exists in both

Literally, thousands and thousands of conflicting files. For full details
(100k) see:

i686.txt.bz2
So on good advise, I set about to remove the conflicts by removing kde4
before trying to install kde4 from kde-unstable -- no joy, same conflicts:

Grrrrr. Same conflicts, what in the world is going on? The nearly identical
gory details (99k):
http://nirvana.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/kde4-conflicts-i686-
again.txt.bz2
[18:21 supersff:/home/david] # pacman -Q | grep kde | grep -v kdemod3
<nothing>
OK, what is 'accessibility' and where is the conflict?
[18:26 supersff:/home/david] # pmq -s | grep accessibility
A library providing a set of interfaces for accessibility
local/kdemod3-kdeaccessibility 3.5.10-1 (kdemod3-complete kdemod3-vanilla)
Huh?? kdemod3 is this issue??? Damn! Why can't I have kdemod3 and kde4
installed side-by-side and why can't I install kde-unstable if kdemod3 is
installed. kde3 & kde4 can exist side-by-side just fine. What gives?? OK,
fine, I'll blow kdemod3 away and try again
(Note: I really did not want to have to do this...)
pacman -Rs kdemod3-complete basket compizconfig-backend-kconfig filelight
ksensors qcad
OK, now both kde and everything related to kdemod has been torpedoed.

WTF???? This is a BUG, there isn't a damn thing installed and still I get
20000 lines of conflicts.... The same conflicts..... OK, let's disable kdemod-
legacy in pacman and try once again.
[18:46 supersff:/home/david] # vi /etc/pacman.conf
[18:46 supersff:/home/david] # pms kde kde-extragear
<snip SAME damn conflicts>
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
[18:46 supersff:/home/david] #
I give up ;-( I'm pulling out the Nuclear option. I have uninstalled
everything related to kde and kde-unstable still will not install. This has to
be some type of bug. I'll report back after I get my system installed and
running....
