I just ran into this funny little problem :)

There is a package named "systemd", there is also a group named
"systemd".  How do I install the group with pacman?  It keeps on
offering me the package only:

~~~~
$ sudo pacman -Sg systemd
systemd initscripts-systemd
systemd systemd
systemd systemd-arch-units
$ sudo pacman -S systemd
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets (1): systemd-37-2

Total Download Size:    0.79 MB
Total Installed Size:   5.11 MB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
