I usually run Arch on my desktop So I don't always notice when I failed to update the laptop...
Anyway I wanted to rectify that today. 1st I had to update pacman of course, then:
replace alpine with re-alpine ? I said [ Y ]
replace gnome-panel-bonobo with gnome-panel ? heck I don't even use gnome so what I care [ Y ]
replace heimdel with krb5 ? I said [ Y ]
replace python2-qt with python2-pyqy I said [ Y ]
Error: "could not satisfy dependencies xfprint requires heimdal>=1.3.1
Tried again telling it NOT to replace heimdal {whatever that is} But:
it then says krb5 and heimdal are in conflict and asks if I want to remove heindal... ???
I don't know what xfprint is so I'm not sure if I might want to uninstall it, so I did a :
pacman -Si xfprint
"xfprint" not found...
Tried pacman -Ss xfprint But didn't find anything.
What do I gotta uninstsll???

yes, remove xfprint then try again.
pacman -Rsc xfprint
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

what does:
pacman -Q | grep -i xfprint
say?

why grep-ing when pacman -Q xfprint does the same job better?

Please search the forums, it's been covered already: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=122096

Guilty as charged. I'm just tired and overheated, (I Just spen a couple days {had a hard time of it} learning how to adapt my laptop's Linux to be able to make reasonably secure use of the wireless capabilities of my new DSL modom/router.) Which process made me realize my laptop's Arch installation was out of date. And once I managed to get one of the other Linux to work with it as a back-up, I was ready to upgrade. But I musta forgot the mental gasX because I didn't think to search first... Sorry. My bad!
The good part is that The above answers made me realize the diff between a pacman sync search or info request, and the Query version.

in case it's called xfprint-git or something

You mean
[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qs syslog « output snipped »
Yeah, what I only just figured out {though I'm sure it's properly explained in "man pacman" }
Is that the -Q options look for packages on your computer. Not sure what happens if a package was downloaded but not yet installed? But if pacman -Q* finds it it's already on your computer...
[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Ss syslog « output snipped »
Whereas it seems that if "pacman -Ss*" or "pacman -Si*" finds it then it's in a repository
So since there are more "syslog" matched packages in the repos than already on your computer, the -Q output would be a shorter list...
Hope that makes it less confusing for you Karol...

@jtwdyp
I meant what's covered in the link http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 19689.html
[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qs syslog
local/perl-device-modem 1.54-1 [0,12 MB]

local/syslog-ng 3.2.4-3 [1,16 MB] (base)
Next-generation syslogd with advanced networking and filtering capabilitiesWhy would 'perl-device-modem' be a match if I'm searching for 'syslog'? It's because it has 'perl-device-modem-log-syslog' in the 'Provides' array:
[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qi perl-device-modem

Description : Perl extension to talk to modem devices connected via serial portHowever if we search for 'syslog-ng'
[karol@black ~]$ pacman -Qs syslog-ng
local/syslog-ng 3.2.4-3 [1,16 MB] (base)
Next-generation syslogd with advanced networking and filtering capabilitieswe get more reasonable results ;P
