I edited my post above to provide more reasoning. This may only be temporary, we’ll see. The AUR maintainers apparently are having issues as well.
correct just mentioning it
can be deleted as it is normally part of the Arch Linux kernel.
Some packages from the the latest batch of updates in Unstable conflicts with sddm-breath-theme and kpeoplevcard which in turn is necessary for kdeconnect and other packages:

New KDE update comes today from the unstable branch.
I got the conflicting package kpeoplevcard:

- I removed
kdeconnectwhich requires the dependencykpeoplevcard. - Update ran fine without the conflict.
But I want to install kdeconnect again after update, but that fails because:

I checked kpeoplevcard, it looks quite outdated and was packaged by Manjaro team in 2020, this does not match Arch KDE packages in Manjaro unstable branch.
$ pacman -Si kpeoplevcard

@Manjaro-Team
Can you remove kpeoplevcard from Manjaro repo and sync it with Arch repo?
Edit://
A solution is possible:
I manually install the kpeoplevcard package from the Arch repo to fix the issue. KDE connect runs flawlessly.
sddm-breath-theme dependency problem:
:: installing plasma-framework5 (5.111.0-1) breaks dependency 'plasma-framework' required by sddm-breath-theme
Sadly I cannot say the same. After removing kdeconnect the update still doesn’t go through for me
Did you try:
- Download it from the Arch repo.
- Run
sudo pacman -U <package>to install it. - Update (You need to ignore installing
kpeoplevcardfrom the Manjaro repo)
I tried that and disabled updates for kpeoplevcard in /etc/pacman.conf. After that the following is printed upon sudo pacman -Syyu
Nach in Konflikt stehenden Paketen wird gesucht …
Fehler: Vorgang konnte nicht vorbereitet werden (Kann Abhängigkeiten nicht erfüllen)
:: Installation von plasma-framework5 (5.111.0-1) verletzt Abhängigkeit »plasma-framework«, benötigt von sddm-breath-theme
You have the other problem, it has nothing to do with kpeoplevcard issue.
sddm-breath-themewas packaged by Manjaro, not Arch.plasma-framework5was packaged by Arch.
This is why both do not match properly.
You wait for Manjaro team to maintain the package sddm-breath-theme
Can report the updating issues have been resolved. With kdeconnect as well, cheers
Having the same issue with updates and kdepeoplecard.I’ll give it awhile and see if the issue is taken care of if not i’ll follow the suggestion @Zesko gave.
I had 84 updates, now I have 96, but still I can´t update:
sudo pacman -Syu

kpeoplevcard 0.1-2 is now available. Once your mirror(s) sync, the dependency will be satisfied.

thanks, @Yochanan, looks like Indian servers are not in sync yet, manually switched to global repo.
The update has started now.
thanks for the fix
A post was split to a new topic: When shutting down PC, all mechanical hard-disks run down hard
- Just remove these packages from AUR.
Or - Edit their PKGBUILDs to change all KDE dependency names and then build them.

Thnaks, I was in doubt to remove all this things… done.
I have to remove “telepathy*”. Maybe I don´t need. Don´t know.
I have KDE installed but don´t used it. I use Xfce.
Maybe it was just my bad luck but I could not get the system to update unable to satisfy dependency ‘kpeoplevcard’ required by kdeconnect. I changed mirrors to worldwide and still no luck.I finally uninstalled kdeconnect and got the updates.Once it updated I reinstalled kdeconnect rebooted and no issues.
