...but this is the output
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc: requires gcc-libs=4.7.0-3
Pacman needs to update itself first, but needs gcc-libs...
...however...
pacman -Ss gcc-libs
core/gcc-libs 4.7.0-5 (base) [installed: 4.7.0-3]
Runtime libraries shipped by GCC
Granted, I could do this:
pacman's --force
but, how harmfull is that to my system?
Thanks for a reply!

EDIT - searching the boards now...but I found some stale breadcrumbs...
EDIT2 - upated pacman on its own...that seemd to work...
pacman -S pacman
the system is updating now...Solved
EDIT3 - definetly solved, upgrading pacman on its own did the trick. The system is back after a reboot...thanks to everyone here

What happens if you say No to pacman updating first?

I had the same issue, and I believe it was resolved by answering "n" to pacman's request to upgrade itself first, and upgrading the system first instead. Let me know if that works.

Hi everyone!
@ Loafer
Well, I did not refuse pacman to update...not updating one package could potentially bring down the depenging chain...so I let it update...
@ Sara - I updated pacman on its own as detailed in the first post, then I did a sysup. the packages are in, and the update is running as we speak...
I guess this could work for you too...good luck!
