Why did pacman recon I have to upgrade packages I just removed ?
I can live with it but is it me or something corrupt when removing packages?
if looking in /var/lib/pacman/current/ there is still references to for example
gnome-icon-theme-2.14.2-1 which is uninstalled.

Maybe you have something which require this packages and you haven't installed them in that case pacman wants to update/get them.
That's normal behaviour I think.

no it's not a normal behavior.
In that case it should say "{packageA} is required by {packageB}" when removing.
Do you have correct permissions in your pacman database (/var/lib/pacman/local/) ?

Permissions.
ls -lad /var/lib/pacman/extra/ /var/lib/pacman/current/ /var/lib/pacman/local/
drwxr-xr-x 527 root root 16384 2006-04-07 09:26 /var/lib/pacman/current/

drwxr-xr-x 314 root root 12288 2006-04-07 10:24 /var/lib/pacman/local/
Just to be sure I did pacman upgrade but without any success.
Also cleared all packages in /var/cash/packman/pkg.

You probalby have gimp.
Gimp depends on librsvg. On a recent update, librsvg now seems to depend on libgnomeprintui (but not the previous one).
So when you removed libgnomeprintui and its dependencies, the old librsvg was not requiring them (so no messages from pacman). But with the last update, librsvg now depends on them, which is why pacman wants to install them.
I sent a bug about it (librsvg works well whitout libgnomeprintui), which was closed because it was fixed, but it is still not fixed.
Edit: Ok that's fixed now! with librsvg-2.14.3-2

Thank you marmotte!
As you said I do have Gimp installed, problem was solved with librsvg-2.14.3-2 package.
