Btw. geoclue is neither provided by official repositories, nor by AUR.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ yaourt -Ss geoclue
extra/geoclue2 2.4.4-2 [installed]
    Modular geoinformation service built on the D-Bus messaging system

IOW if no other package, but geoclue should cause the conflict and you
shouldn't use geoclue, then why keeping the conflicting package?
