Re: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Why is the error at the top? And which dependencies could not be satisfied?

Re: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Do a "pacman -Syu --debug" to see what dependancy is not being satisfied.  In fact, I thought that was shown by default.

Edit: So I can seem psychic, my guess is gcc-fortran...  just because I see lapack in your list!

Edit2:  In fact it is probably because gcc-libs no longer provides gcc-fortran any more.  My guess is you have python-numpy installed (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9926) Do a "pacman -Sd gcc-libs" then a "pacman -Syu" to fix your problem.
