:: Starting full system upgrade... failure

Hey guys! I just updated pacman to version 3.1.1 (had to force)…
Now I'd like to make a full system upgrade (pacman –Syu), however pacman comes up with an output as follows

:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace cvsup with core/csup? [Y/n] n
:: Replace slocate with core/mlocate? [Y/n] n
:: Replace util-linux with core/util-linux-ng? [Y/n] n

:: Replace scrollkeeper with extra/rarian? [Y/n] n

warning: dependency cycle detected:

looking for inter-conflicts...
:: rarian conflicts with scrollkeeper. Remove scrollkeeper? [Y/n] n
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: rarian: conflicts with scrollkeeper

Apparently forum member "tch" had a similar problem posted on November 18th, though I don't wanna end up with a bad superblock error message like he (or she ;-) did.

Help would be appreciated! Just give me a link if I should have missed any post already dealing with this. Thank you!

Why do you answer no?

Re: :: Starting full system upgrade... failure

Good question. I tried it twice before by answering yes. However, that was with an outdated version of pacman. So I erroneously assumed it wouldn't work with pacman 3.1.1, either. Now it's working though! Thanks for the hint! That was all I needed ;-)
