I want to try the new Plasma 6 beta so I followed the instructions on the Arch wiki on how to enable the kde-unstable repo and tried to update the system, but when I try pacman says “plasma-activities and kactivities are in conflict”, both are required by some of the packages that it’s trying to update and there’s no way to ignore the conflict.

Does anyone know how to install it?

    Update: the bad packages got updated, you should be fine just installing them from kde-unstable again

      Wow, that is incredibly unfortunate timing.

        cosmically unfortunate timing, package maintainer probably just took a nap between updating most packages and fixing the leftovers and the resulting gap caused this mayhem

          It’s called kde-unstable for a reason! ;) Packaging issues are expected to happen as it’s where the maintainer irons out the issues.
