This has been fixed. Wait for your mirror to sync.

(and you should read arch-dev-public... it is recommended for all [testing] users)

Libarchive also depends on xz-utils.

I'm not a testing user, although I have testing in my pacman.conf, because I originally installed go-openoffice from testing, before it was in extra. But I have testing listed in pacman.conf below core and extra, which I thought was supposed to prevent upgrading my system to testing in general. So should I not do the upgrade to xz-utils, if I'm not really a testing user?

Also is this eventually going to percolate down to extra or core anyway?

@cb474
There is no need for you to do the upgrade unless you need xz format very much.
Almost all testing packages will enter extra or core after testing work.

Thanks. Given that I didn't even know what the xz format is until this came up, I'm going to assume I don't need it. But is there any harm in my upgrading to xz utils if for no other reason than to get pacman to stop bugging me about it? Is this the way things are going, as it were, anyway?

Just remove the [testing] repo from pacman.conf. You really shouldn't have it below [core] and [extra] anyway...

Not to hijack the thread, but really? I read somewhere that was the thing to do, if I wanted to install a package from testing, but didn't want to upgrade my whole system to testing. Is there a different more proper way to do that, if the need should arise for in the future?

I'm sorry, but I can't update. I always get the same error as eldragon! I've tried it with the mirror I always use and the original Arch one. Am I doing something wrong?

@synonym24

I had the same problem. For me, the old version of yelp needed lzma-utils, the new version didn't. So I updated yelp first, then I was able to pacman -Syu sucessfully.

good luck.
