cannot install gnome

I have installed arch 2007.08.2 and have uncommented core, extra, community and unstable then run pacman -suyd. When I then try to install gnome I get this error

[root@arch ~]# pacman -S gnome
:: group gnome:
    control-center  epiphany  gnome-applets  gnome-backgrounds  gnome-desktop 
    gnome-icon-theme  gnome-media  gnome-mime-data  gnome-mount  gnome-panel 
    gnome-session  gnome-themes  gnome2-user-docs  metacity  nautilus  yelp 
:: Install whole content? [Y/n]
resolving dependencies...
error: cannot resolve dependencies for "libxklavier" ("libxkbfile" is not in the package set)
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: libxklavier requires libxkbfile>=1.0.4

Please can someone help?

Re: cannot install gnome

Why "pacman -suyd". That skips dependency checks which can only lead to pain...

Does "pacman -Ss libxkbfile" find anything?  If not, try a different mirror.

Re: cannot install gnome

nothing. Did pcaman -Suy as well but someone suggested the d at some point don't know why. It seams the package is not in any of the repositories! I'm using the 64bit version.

[root@arch ~]# pacman -Ss libxkbfile
[root@arch ~]#

Re: cannot install gnome

As Allan suggested already, try a different mirror. It is on the main mirror, so probably there is just something wrong with your mirror.

Re: cannot install gnome

That seems strange given the package hasn't been touched in 13 months - I doubt it has been a problem for that long!  Unfortunately my 64bit machine is dead so I can't confirm this myself.
