Hi all,  
I’m trying to install backintime, a backup software, using yaourt, but I found the following error:

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected  
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)  
:: backintime-gnome and backintime-gtk are in conflict

I do not have backintime-gtk neither backintime-gtk installed, I am trying to install backintime and backintime-kde.  
I have found and tried some solutions provided in arch and manjaro forums with no success, so I was wondering if any netrunner user has tried to install it, and whether (s)he could give some help.  
Thank you.

When yaourt asks if you want to edit the package build file, say yes and tell it what editor you wish to use (I like nano), you’ll then need to just remove backintime-gnome and backintime-gtk from the package name line at the top and save, it will ask again this time say no and It will build and install fine.

Here is a screen shot of it running on my machine:

PS. I had just installed it 5 min before posting this.

I just wanted to let you know there is a KDE build for backintime in the AUR:

```auto
yaourt -S backintime-kde4
```

There is also KUP in the AUR which integrates right into system settings:
