Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

The error message is such USELESS ! Which PACKAGE is it? Goddammit !
Do i have to install 99 packages one by one to find out which one is it ?
Thx Pacman, great job.

I can understand this being frustrating; but try to take it easy.

Try running pacman in debug mode. It should normally tell you which package the checks fails on.

# pacman -Syu --debug

Burninate!

First thx for the quick answer, yeah it was frustrated because why not make it simple, clean and user friendly
by printing a serious error message with details.
Ok after successful redirecting the output of --debug to a file which was not easy to catch because things like
"pacman -Su --debug >debug.log" or "pacman -Su --debug | tee debug.log" fails. Finally i got it with
"pacman -Su --debug >debug.log 2>&1" (need press Y blind). After digging in the 4200 lines debug code
becuase simple search for things like "error" or "fails" didn't pays off i found this lines :
2672 debug: found cached pkg: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kdegames-libkdegames-4.8.1-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz.part
2673 debug: using (package - .part) size
Looks like aria2c fails downloading it (.part)
Fixed it now after a long journey.
