[arch-general] Advice need on upgrading

[Christopher Daley]

In short, it's a packaging problem.  You could try forcing the package
upgrades (while not the best solution I imagine at most you wont be able to
print), or just skip those packages until someone gets around to fixing the
packaging issue.

The long version:
system-config-printer version 1.1.7-3 was just replaced by
system-config-printer-common
1.1.12-5.  I'm not sure what the differences are (if any), but either the
two packages in question (kdeadmin-system-config-printer-kde
 kdeutils-printer-applet) need to be updated, or
the system-config-printer-common package needs to have the PROVIDES line
updated.

I'm going to file a bug against system-config-printer-common for the
provides, since the kde packages are orphans.
