[solved]Pacman error: could not satisfy dependencies

Ok, so im home sick and what is better then update you arch system at that situation. So I tried to do excaly that, but I ran into this problem:

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
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :
    pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] y

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc: requires gcc-libs=4.6.2-6 

but we I ran:

pacman -Qs gcc-libs
local/gcc-libs 4.6.2-6 (base)
    Runtime libraries shipped by GCC

so why is pacman complaying about dependencies? And more importantly, how can I fix this?
