I am trying to install the Kontact Suite from KDE. When I had a look at the Kontact package in Arch Repositories, it lists the following packages as optional
- akregator
- kaddressbook
- kmail
- korganizer
- zanshin
When I try to install kcontact with pacman I do not have these 5 optional packages listed. Please see the output given below. How can I get these 5 optional packages installed?
I have tried the option –groups as well as –asdeps and –asexplicit. None of these options helped.
