Missing dependencies

Hi all,

I have strange problem with system update. I was not updating it for a few weeks (broken internet connection and lazy provider). Meanwhile pacman v.3 was introduced. I have updated old pacman to the new one, changed pacman.conf to use "core" repo instead "current" and now when I do pacman -Syu it complains about unresolved dependencies. Below is an example because there is a lot of such missing deps. for other packages:

resolving dependencies...
error: cannot resolve dependencies for "kdelibs" ("heimdal" is not in the package set)
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdelibs requires heimdal>=0.8.1

Some additional examples:

$ pacman -Si kdelibs
Repository     : extra
Name           : kdelibs
Version        : 3.5.7-5
Groups         : kde

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Re: Missing dependencies

1) Try pacman -Syy
2) Try another mirror
3) post your pacman.conf and the mirrors you tried

pacman roulette : pacman -S $(pacman -Slq | LANG=C sort -R | head -n $((RANDOM % 10)))

Re: Missing dependencies

Big thanks.

Indeed didn't checked another mirror. So I report that this one is broken/incomplete:

One again thanks.
