[SOLVED]How can I update my kernel to 2.6.31?

Hi. I noticed today there's an update to 2.6.31. I wanted to do an update:

[warnec@chakra ~]$ sudo LANG=C pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: kadu: local (0.6.5.3-1) is newer than community (0.6.5.2-1)
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: vhba-module: requires kernel26<2.6.31
[warnec@chakra ~]$

So it complains it cannot update because some of my current apps require newer kernel in their next version. How can I fix this?

I also tried:

[warnec@chakra ~]$ sudo LANG=C pacman -S kernel26
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: madwifi: requires kernel26<2.6.31
:: ndiswrapper: requires kernel26<2.6.31
:: tiacx: requires kernel26<2.6.31
:: vhba-module: requires kernel26<2.6.31
[warnec@chakra ~]$

kernel26<2.6.31

The applications require an older, not newer, kernel ( < 2.6.31) . You will first need to update them to a version compatible with 2.6.31 .

You will be much more successful if you update using "pacman -Syu" rather than updating packages on their own.

@up as you can see, it failed:

[warnec@chakra ~]$ sudo LANG=C pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: kadu: local (0.6.5.3-1) is newer than community (0.6.5.2-1)
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: vhba-module: requires kernel26<2.6.31
[warnec@chakra ~]$

the -Su was done a second after I did -Sy. Anyway, I fixed it by "sudo pacman -Sd kernel26" and then "sudo pacman -Su"
