Can't update packages with updates (dependency) [SOLVED]

I'm trying to update my system for the last two days and I can't, how can I tell what dependency is missing when all I get is this:


:: Synchronizing package databases...

Waited 2 days to see if it was a mirror sync issue, but so far nothing, so any ideas what I could be missing to get this figured out?

*edit* Tried with both Pacman and Yaourt, same results

You could try ignoring packages until it does upgrade....

Finally got an error message with info, it was madwifi (which I don't use) holding up the kernel update, removed it and got everything updated.
