I’m having this issue coming from KDE as well.

libgdm-dev is not installed, neither is gdm-dev

Since noone seems to have posted them, here’s the full output of sudo pacman -S gnome

[max@xps-nix ~]$ sudo pacman -S gnome

I think the issue may be that both gdm and gdm-dev are included under the gnome group, so both try to install?

e: following this theory, attempted to install the range 1-7, 9-71 for the above and it went off without a hitch. So i guess that’s probably the culprit. If the group could be updated to remove the conflict, that’d probably help those of us who just try to take the default action, assuming it’s sane and tested :wink:

I have the same issue when trying to install gnome in manjaro cinnamon, gdm-dev and libgdm-dev are conflicting.

Similar problem happens with a Fresh Install of Manjaro with the Architect,the installation script installs -git packages even when explicit chosen “stable” branch, something is messed on Manjaro servers, this makes cross packages conflicts. Because the stable package somewhere have dev packages as dependency, and then other needs the normal one, and then the conflict.

In the case of Gnome failing to install as described happens that “gdm-dev” depends of “libgdm-dev” BUT “libgdm-dev” depends on “gdm” (non -dev) getting into conflict.

You can check in the pamac-manager for “libgdm-dev”
it states that depends on “gdm” but get’s into conflict with “gdm”, at same time!

gdm-dev should not even be called in the first place as far as my understanding! I am new to Manjaro Arch, but who is responsible for the Manjaro repository should be aware of this…

Stefano Capitani seems the package organizer, maybe a kind email to him can make some light to the problem: stefano @ manjaro.org

Any solution because I’m having the issue with the XFCE edition of Manjaro in the stable branch(I don’t know about other branches),
I pasted the command:
sudo pacman -S gnome
and it errors with:
warning: removing 'gdm' from target list because it conflicts with 'gdm-dev'
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: gdm-dev and libgdm-dev are in conflict

libgdm-dev is not installed and gdm-dev isn’t too,also gdm is not installed.

Have a nice day,
and thanks.

EDIT:There was an update,I updated then I seem to not have the issue anymore.
