SigLevel = Never

The above (temporarily) seems to have an effect with already downloaded files so I have made a small step forward. With the system installed from the large KDE (4.X gb) iso there were also file conflicts and removing one just led into interminable dependancy spirals so I gave up. With the system made form the smaller (2.1 gb) plasma iso there are no conflicts and so far I've been able to install those packages that do not lead into dependancy issues ONE AT A TIME. This isn't encouraging either seeing that there are about 800 of them but is better than nothing.

Are there any packages in particular which, if installed manually from local folders, are better candidates for fixing this problem than others?

Addendum:
Manually updated most packages, updated the rest via artix-chroot from live dvd. Now I can't log in. I create a new user with password but that can't log in either. I'm done, will be back in 6 months to see if a new 'working' iso is available.

Closure:

As a dire-straits last resort I dug up the oldest backup image on hand, the one that made me go for a fresh install in anger. I recovered it, updated it and am posting from it (probably my original install from the 2018 or so kde iso). A simultabneous swing to a new (non-nvidia) video card and an upgrade to plasma 6 had made such a mess of my desktop as I had never seen before so I thought that a freshie would be the thing to do. W R O N G. I'll rebuild it now, having no choice. Thanks for the helpful suggestions all the same!
