Dependency conflict when trying to install KDE Connect

Hi everyone,
I'm running into a dependency conflict when trying to install kdeconnect. Pacman reports that some packages required by KDE Connect cannot be installed due to unresolved or conflicting dependencies.
I already tried reinstalling the involved packages, reinstalling systemd, updating the keyring, and even doing a full system upgrade, but the issue persists. It looks like the package database or dependency chain might be inconsistent on my system.
Has anyone encountered this issue before, or knows what might be causing it? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: I reinstalled the entire Arch system, and even from the ISO using arch-chroot the issue remains exactly the same.

[root@archiso /]# pacman -S kdeconnect
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: lvm2-2.03.23-3.2 and mkinitcpio-40-2.0 are in conflict. Remove mkinitcpio? [y/N]

Re: Dependency conflict when trying to install KDE Connect

This applies probably to half of the things depending on udisk2, libblockdev, etc. (so all bigger desktops like KDE, Mate), etc.
I don't know a good workaround for this currently.

Oh, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
