#i just added the following 5 lines to /etc/pacman.conf just above [core] section

[kde-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#after saving the pacman.conf, run pacman -Syu.
# vhba-module was not required so i removed it
sudo pacman -R vhba-module cdemu-daemon cdemu-client

Thanks for the info. I could

I guess pacman should do that.

But when I place kde-unstable below all other repos, pacman picks up KDE 4.1 to install. So I suppose pacman installs the version which it finds in the first repository.

I don’t understand why you have to add the kde-unstable repository before core and the others. Isn’t pacman supposed to install the most recent version of a package?
