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

still can not install kdeconnect:
Synchronizing package databases...
Choose optional dependencies for kdeconnect:
1: python-nautilus: Nautilus integration
Enter a selection (default=none):

Warning: cannot resolve "kpeoplevcard", a dependency of "kdeconnect"
Error: Failed to prepare transaction:
could not satisfy dependencies:
- unable to satisfy dependency 'kpeoplevcard' required by kdeconnect
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
- 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.
See my post in testing announcement:

Thanks I have it fixed now.It is more I can’t wait for fixes or for someone to post a way to fix it I just have to go into panic mode until I figure it out. 
pacman-mirrors: local (4.23.3-2) is newer than core (4.23.2+3+g4148c3d-1)
I also got the kpeoplevcard: local (0.1+r38.32d50a9-1) is newer than extra (0.1-2) and since above recomended allowing downgrade, I did that and it worked.
as for pacman-mirrors run
sudo pacman -Syuu
No need to sync again. The first line is enough.
pacman-mirrors version: 4.23.3+10+gbd0d802-1 is buggy
pacman-mirrors -G ==> result is:
LANGUAGES [‘de_DE’, ‘UTF-8’, ‘’, ‘en_US’]
APP_DIR /usr/share
LOCALE_DIR /usr/share/locale
LOCALE (‘de_DE’, ‘UTF-8’)
unstable
Version 4.23.3-2 is o.K.
pacman-mirrors -G ==> result is:
unstable
Me too:
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack
LANGUAGES ['en_US', 'UTF-8', '', 'en_US', 'UTF-8']
APP_DIR /usr/share
LOCALE_DIR /usr/share/locale
LOCALE ('en_US', 'UTF-8')
::INFO Downloading mirrors from Manjaro
...
what you guys mean? that we display some debug messages to develop pacman-mirrors? Well you’re on the unstable branch, dude.

I like the horses in the un-stable too.
Wilhelm Busch (Max & Moritz):
“Doch zuletzt verzehret sie Meister Müllers Federvieh.”
In fact, the unstable branch is actually the most stable one. Because many necessary apps are only provided via AUR like
- Zoom,
- Slack,
- Skype,
- Spotify,
- Chrome,
- VSCode (with .NET debugger),
- Android Studio,
- Genymotion
- Teamviewer,
- Sublim Text,
- WPS Office,
- Foxit Reader/Editor,
- Joplin,
- …
And to ensure the stability and the compatibility of these apps with the rest of installed libraries, it’s safe and sometimes necessary to switch to unstable branch.
