I had the same problem, I was just about doing my regular system update,
and got the exact same error message as mentioned in the first mail on
this thread. Running pacman -Qi geoclue geoclue2 revealed that geoclue
is needed by no package, but the conflicting geoclue2 is needed by
webkitgtk and webkit2gtk. So removing geoclue2 was no option at first
hand, but I went with removing geoclue, which was not needed. After
that, I tried to run pacman -Syu again, and no file conflicts were
mentioned, so removing geoclue fixed the issue. If anyone else stumbles
upon this problem, this might help.
