(SOLVED*pacman -Syu returns errors

I get asked if I want to replace Kernel-headers with core/linux-api-headers y/n

If I say yes it tries and then list a long list of files which are followed with "exists in the filesystem"
Errors occured, no packages were upgraded.

If I say no it says
Warning: provider package was selected (linux-api-headers provides kernel-headers)
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: linux-api-headers conflicts with kernel headers. Remove kernel-headers y/n

yes to this bring back the list of file followed by "exists in the filesystem"

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Unless you post the context of "exists in the filesystem", we can't help you. Just copy all the text around it and paste it here inside the code tags.

How do I do that?

I am writing this on my laptop and the problem is on the desktop which only has a command prompt

I have removed HAL and reinstalled it and my system is now up to date. Hopefully this will help solve the other issue also with dbus not stating when trying to log in. I am stabbing around here and getting there eventually.

Thanks

You may want to check the status of the mirror you are using when updating the system with Pacman. If the repositories haven't been updated lately, you may have been downloading old stuff. You can find the mirror status list here:
