Remove pacman-color, update pacman, and finally, reinstall pacman-color. Use the updated pacman-color in AUR for pacman 3.4.0

Re: Pacman upgrade fails because of unsatisfied pacman-color dependency *
There are a couple of threads about this.
1.Uninstall pacman-color
2. pacman -Syu
3. Reinstall pacman-color
4. Put the kettle on...

Re: Pacman upgrade fails because of unsatisfied pacman-color dependency *
I am going to fix your title, since your topic erroneously suggests this is a pacman problem, while this is a pacman-color problem

Re: Pacman upgrade fails because of unsatisfied pacman-color dependency *
Is there a pacman-color version for pacman 3.4.1-1?

I'm sure it is on the way: in the interim, there is a working patch on the page: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=11827
