Looks like an out of sync mirror. I also have gcc-multilib and it didn't bug me.

Cheers, failed to mention (self flagellation to follow) that I ran reflector beforehand.

hang on, that is an old bug...
I've got pacman 4.0.1-4 and gcc-multilib and gcc-libs-multilib at version 4.6.2-7
Also failed to mention that I update every day and did not have this problem this morning...

Upgrading pacman alone fixes the issue for me (sudo pacman -Sy pacman).

If you have the multilib repo enabled and gcc-multilib enabled: it breaks all the time. Feels almost like standard issue - I suppose they're aware but don't care enough to sync it.
Or they might not be aware, of course, but surely we mustn't be the only souls running multilib.

Can someone please explain this, I don't understand the difference (in this case) between reinstalling and upgrading, the effect is the same, but upgrading pacman with (-Syu) did not work.
Its probably clear but just to be explicit:

Or they might not be aware, of course, but surely we mustn't be the only souls running multilib.
In my understanding it is not a problem of gcc-libs-multilib but a problem of pacman.
I mean, why would pacman see a conflict with
pacman -Syu
, but not with
pacman -Sy; pacman -S pacman; pacman -Su
? That doesn't make sense to me.
Also, pactree seems to imply that gcc-libs-multilib provides gcc-libs and there is no actual dependency that would require gcc-libs instead of gcc-libs-multilib which provides gcc-libs even in the exact same version it itself is...

pacmatic -Syy pacman before upgrade also helped me around the problem today.

pacman -S pacman

The same "solution" as in the bug report that karol posted in post #3 - I just didn't read it properly thinking it was old
