My issue is simple, i went with the offline install initially, then installed plasma and now i want to remove xfce
i run sudo pacman -Rns xfce4 xfce4-goodies and then get this as the output

checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing xfce4-terminal breaks dependency 'xfce4-terminal' required by endeavouros-xfce4-terminal-colors

then i try

sudo pacman -Rns xfce4-goodies

and get this as the output

Reinstall online and select kde, avoid breakage of your system. :wink:

I believe pacman -Rd will remove something regardless of dependencies but be careful not to remove anything you need.

nvm, figured it out guys
removed endeavouros-xfce4-terminal-colors first by doing sudo pacman -Rns endeavouros-xfce4-terminal-colors and then did sudo pacman -Rns xfce4 xfce4-goodies
