pacman package install problems

Hello there all of you, I'm new here and I would like to salute you first...

Well... today I installed Arch Linux on my PC.. all fine and well... but it seems that after I installed yapg (Yet Another Pacman GUI)... I'm having problems installing new packages...
this prompts out after I use the command pacman -S opera for example:

resolving dependencies... done.
looking for inter-conflicts... done.

Targets: kernel-headers-2.6.22.1-1  glibc-2.6.1-2  zlib-1.2.3-2  libpng-1.2.18-1  libjpeg-6b-4  xproto-7.0.10-1  libxau-1.0.2-1
         libxdmcp-1.0.2-1  kbproto-1.0.3-1  inputproto-1.4.2-1  bigreqsproto-1.0.2-1  libx11-1.1.3-1  xextproto-7.0.2-1  libxext-1.0.3-1
         libice-1.0.4-1  libsm-1.0.3-1  libxt-1.0.5-1  libxmu-1.0.3-1  fixesproto-4.0-2  libxfixes-4.0.3-1  renderproto-0.9.2-1
         libxrender-0.9.3-1  libxcursor-1.1.9-1  xineramaproto-1.1.2-1  libxinerama-1.0.2-1  xf86vidmodeproto-2.2.2-1  libxxf86vm-1.0.1-1
         libdrm-2.3.0-1  libgl-dri-6.5.2-1  glproto-1.4.8-1  binutils-2.17.50.0.18-1  gcc-4.2.1-3.1  mesa-6.5.2-1  expat-2.0.1-1
         freetype2-2.3.5-1  fontconfig-2.4.2-1  libxft-2.1.12-1  randrproto-1.2.1-1  libxrandr-1.2.1-1  qt-3.3.8-5  opera-9.23-1

Total Package Size:   52.75 MB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n]

Well I kinda know that kernel-headers-2.6.22.1-1  glibc-2.6.1-2 and some other packages are already installed... but why do all packages I want to install have those packages as dependencies?
It's like pacman forgot what packages are already installed on my system... odd...

Any help would be appreciated, thanx! smile

Re: pacman package install problems

What's the contents of /var/lib/pacman/local?  What do you get when you run pacman -Q kernel-headers, for example?  (assuming you haven't already let this update happen)

Re: pacman package install problems

Ok... the /var/lib/pacman/local directory is empty... and by running sudo pacman -Q kernel-headers i get:

error: package "kernel-headers" not found
