Pacman errors - libwnck and libxres

Since I did a Pacman -Syu a lot of programs I try to install come up with the error: cannot resolve dependencies for "libwnck": "libxres" is not in the package set. So I tried to install either of these packages seperately but then pacman reports that they are not found in the database. Any ideas?

maybe you should try a another pacman mirror archive, if no success, file a dependency bug at the bugs section

Fixed

Looks like it was the mirrors. After pacman -Syu it backed up all my old /etc/pacman.d/*.conf files as .pacnew. After restoring them everything works again... at least I think. It makes me wonder what the benefit was of updating them in the first place though.
