[kernel update] ndiswrapper [SOLVED]

[chris@ctkarch ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
 archlinuxfr is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ndiswrapper: requires linux<3.2

[chris@ctkarch ~]$ uname -r
3.1.9-2-ARCH

EDIT
I had to enable community-testing for ndiswrapper-1.57-5.
Why should I have to do that?

Re: [kernel update] ndiswrapper [SOLVED]

Maybe the mirrors needed to sync.
Packages get moved from testing to non-testing repos and some of them may already be in [core] or [extra], while other may still reside in the testing repos (on the mirror you're using).

The answer is to wait a bit - sometimes a couple hours.
As you can see, the package is already in community http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort … =&limit=50

It you're not using [testing], please disable the [community-testing] repo now.

Thanks Karol, I've commented out Community Testing in my /etc/pacman.conf. Next time I'll just wait for things to show up.
