Multiple failed installations and Got "The package manager could not make changes to the installed system. The command <pre>pacman</pre> returned error code 1." error

Welcome at the purple fun :enos:
first think is that you have selected xfce4 and kde Desktop to be both installed… better not to do that.

The issue that let the install itself fail is a package name change from solid → solid5 if you install KDE open the package list on the packages screen and unselect solid in the list …

Seems you do not get the hotfix we send out hour ago… can happen if you can not access github or gitlab or both…
