Hi Koen Kooi,

Thanks for replying this mail.

When my project includes xfce and self-hosted at the same time, the 
compile step will fail and the error information shows that 
networkmanager get conflict with connman:
---
...
Computing transaction...error: Can't install 
xfce4-power-manager-1.4.4-r0.0@corei7_64: unable to install provider for 
networkmanager:
error:     networkmanager-1.0.4-r0.0@corei7_64 conflicts with 
connman-1.30-r0.0@corei7_64
...
The dependence relationship is:
xfce4-power-manager --> networkmanager
packagegroup-self-hosted --> connman

Thanks,
Zhenbo
