dependency issue

a few weeks ago i stopped being able to install updates on my laptop (pacman -Syu) i had to ignore it for the most part because i was crazy busy with work stuff.  now that that i have time i wanted to resolve it.  i think i started getting the errors below after i installed vmware player on my laptop.  how should i go about fixing this issue (i am willing to lose vmware player; i owuld be surprised if that was the case though because you would think that they could have made their software product compatible with a modern linux kernel)

thanks

Re: dependency issue

It also looks like phc-intel (which is a package from the AUR) needs updating, or even up-to-date mirrors will not let you update since phc-intel depends on an older kernel version. Not sure on virtualbox-ose-additions-modules, probably the same story.

not the same story. it has the correct dependency.  depends=('kernel26>=2.6.32.3' 'kernel26<2.6.33')
i think he has a mixture of core/extra/community databases. choose a proper mirror (up to date) and do pacman -Syy.

like a side note,  virtualbox-ose-additions-modules doesn't even have to be installed on host system(a.k.a your system) but on a virtual machine

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
