Re: pacman update failed [SOLVED]

gcc-libs is somewhere in pacman's dependency tree and I guess it has to be updated to install the new pacman. I would just answer 'n' so gcc and pacman (and gcc-libs) are upgraded in one transaction along with everything else, or upgrade pacman and gcc together and then do a full upgrade.

(Or packer does something funny.)
