[solved]gnutls: requires readline>=6.0

So I take it I can't update the 9 new packages on my system because it is requiring something from testing.

[root@NAVI ~]# pacman -Syyu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core                      33.2K  231.9K/s 00:00:00 [------------------------------------------------------------] 100%

:: Starting full system upgrade...

error: cannot resolve "readline>=6.0", a dependency of "gnutls"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gnutls: requires readline>=6.0

Happens whether that extra repo is in there or not.

A big rebuild just got moved for the readline update. Wait for your mirror to sync.

Awesome Allan, thank you!

How long does this normally take. I still cannot update because of the readline error. I changed pacman mirrors and it is still the same.

I had the same error: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75237

You could try doing what I did and comment out the first few mirrors in mirrorlist until pacman -Syu works.

On my one machine I commented out all the mirrors except the official archlinux.org one and it updated quite fine. My other machine still hasn't got it yet though.
