[solved] gcc version error during update

I'm trying to do a full system upgrade but whenever I start it I get the below error ":: gcc-gcj: requires gcc=4.5.1" although it appears I have gcc version 4.5.1 any ideas on what might be causing this?

oli / $ sudo pacman -Syu

:: Starting full system upgrade...

:: gcc-gcj: requires gcc=4.5.1

oli / $ gcc --version

Remember where you got gcc-gcj from?

That's your problem. Not GCC. Check your error again, and read where it says

:: gcc-gcj: requires gcc=4.5.1

There's little point in checking the gcc version prior to the upgrade. You're querying the installed gcc, and that will always be the version gcc-gcj needs. The whole upgrade, in fact, chokes because the new gcc will not be 4.5.1 anymore.

Please use code tags for output of commands run in a terminal.

Ah I get it thanks for that! I removed gcc-gcj and pdftk which depended upon it then ran the upgrade. I think gcc-gcj must have come from the repos as I don't remember installing it from anywhere else although this machine has been around for a while oh and sorry about the code tags.

Thanks again
