I tried to upgrade system using pacman:
sudo pacman -Syu
and it failed because of some conflicts:

I searched and found out just below packages are dependent on libcanberra-*
and python-dbus-*
:
- gespeaker
- oblogout
- libcanberra-gstreamer
- lib32-libcanberra-gstreamer
And since no other packages had these 4 packages as their dependency and also I don’t need them, So I decided to remove them and their dependencies completely:
sudo pacman -Rns oblogout gespeaker libcanberra-gstreamer lib32-libcanberra-gstreamer
Now I am sure there is no more conflicts but when I try to upgrade my system, pacman
still asks me to replace the removed packages :
$ sudo pacman -Syu

My problem: There is no python-dbus
installed on my system but why pacman
still asks me to replace it? How can I tell pacman
there is no package to replace? Should I press ‘Y’ or ‘N’ while I don’t want them to be installed on my system again?
