I get a conflict everytime i try to install deepin

Enter a number (default=1):
looking for conflicting packages…
:: deepin-clutter and clutter are in conflict. Remove clutter? [y/N] y
:: deepin-cogl and cogl are in conflict. Remove cogl? [y/N] y
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing clutter breaks dependency ‘libclutter-1.0.so’ required by pantheon-camera
:: removing clutter breaks dependency ‘libclutter-1.0.so=0-64’ required by pantheon-tasks
[fj@whitewolf ~]$

EDIT: also this is a really WEIRD message:
[fj@whitewolf ~]$ sudo -Rm pantheon-camera
sudo: you are not permitted to use the -R option with pantheon-camera
[fj@whitewolf ~]$

i thought by removing the things that were conflicting it would solve my problem

Where did pantheon-camera and pantheon-tasks come from?

If you built them from AUR, you may need to remove them, install deepin and then rebuild them.

Also, just be aware than Deepin is a mess on all Arch-based distros.

Do you already have pantheon desktop installed? Or just the apps?
Removing pantheon-camera and pantheon-task might solve your issue.

i thought of that and then got this weird message because that seemed logical to me:

[fj@whitewolf ~]$ sudo -Rm pantheon-camera
sudo: you are not permitted to use the -R option with pantheon-camera
[fj@whitewolf ~]$

You forgot pacman :wink:

Also, -R, not -Rm

This:

error: invalid option '-m'

-Rns doesn’t make sense in this case. You don’t want to use -s because you are going to reinstall them. While using -n won’t hurt anything, it seems pointless since it is unlikely either of those packages have anything in the backup array. Even if they did, since you are going to reinstall them anyway, you would probably want the config to be saved.
