The icu package was updated recently and all other packages that depend on it will also need to be updated. Therefore, use pacman -Syu.

This will achieve a partial upgrade, and that’s how you break your system.

i fixed it by uninstalling xiphos :slight_smile: then i could update my system and install gnome. i then just reinstalled xiphos.

edit: i could not have done it without you. i understood once you told me the conflict wasn’t allowing me to update. it nudged me in the right direction with your hint.

thankx i tried this and still had problems until i uninstalled xiphos (i was able to update) then reinstalled it after i installed gnome
