Not able to upgrade- gnupg, pacman, gcc-libs issue[SOLVED]

I tried to upgrade my system with command 'sudo pacman -Syu' but got following error:

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

[abcd@office_computer ~]$ sudo pacman -S gcc-libs

How can I solve this?

Pacman -Syu and answer "n" to updating pacman first.

I did try that. See the last part of the output that I have posted above.

Edit:
Sorry. That was for installing gcc-libs. I have give command 'sudo pacman -Syu' and answered n for updating pacman first. It is working now. Thanks for your help.
