I was expecting an easy and straight forward steps to install Gnome 3 on my Manjaro 16.10. I am using Manjaro KDE edition and planning to install Gnome 3 on top of it. As I read the documentation on Manjaro website, the Gnome 3 installation looks pretty simple.
Install Gnome 3 on Manjaro instruction
sudo pacman -S gnome
sudo pacman -S gnome-extra
Simply as that.
But in my case, I got the following error:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
gtk3-print-backends: /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/printbackends/libprintbackend-cloudprint.so exists in filesystem
gtk3-print-backends: /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/printbackends/libprintbackend-cups.so exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
