Most likely nothing requires geoclue...
$ pacman -Qo /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/geoclue/geoclue.devhelp2
$ pacman -Qi geoclue geoclue2 | grep "Required By"
if so remove it
# pacman -R geoclue
else if force installing geoclue2
# pacman -S --force geoclue2
fi
FWIW I removed it hours ago.
Another useful command to decide if a package should be required or
not, could be "pactree".
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ man pacman | grep "\-\-force" -A2
--force
Bypass file conflict checks and overwrite conflicting files. If the package that is about to be
installed contains files that are already installed, this option will cause all those files to be
overwritten. Using --force will not allow overwriting a directory with a file or installing
packages with conflicting files and directories. This option should be used with care, ideally not
at all.
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ grep geo /var/log/pacman.log | tail -3
