Which packages are attempting to update?

checkupdates

Edit: what are you using in regard to pfkernel repo?

Re: pacman trying to install packages I dont want. Don't know the root

Post the actual command you are using and the full output.  Is this actually pacman, or some other wrapper.  If this is pacman, you clearly have unofficial repos activated - you'll need to tell us about those, and share your pacman.conf.

You're playing with fire if you put unofficial repos above [core] and [extra].

If it's asking to replace packages, it's most likely because the packages in the pfkernel repo have them in the "replaces" array.

You might want to include what exactly the problem was and how you fixed it, in case someone else finds this thread in the future. Also, mark the thread as solved by editing the title
