[solved] pacman error, file unavailable

I'm trying to install a package called "mkvtoolnix":

pacman -S mkvtoolnix

as root, but pacman outputs the following error:

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets (6): icu-4.8.1-1  boost-libs-1.47.0-2  libebml-1.2.2-1

error: failed to commit transaction (File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access))
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

If I search the package database for "mkvtoolnix":

pacman -Ss mkvtoolnix

I see that this package should be in extra repository:

extra/mkvtoolnix 5.0.0-1
    Set of tools to create, edit and inspect Matroska files - CLI version

At this point, I don't know what else to try, other than using mkvtoolnix on a virtual machine with windows xp or debian...

Re: [solved] pacman error, file unavailable

Run 'pacman -Syu' and try again. Theres a new version available: 5.0.1-1- updated four days ago http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=mkvtoolnix
Always make sure your system is up to date before installing new packages.

Re: [solved] pacman error, file unavailable

It worked. I was using Debian prior to Arch, and maybe that's why I didn't knew about the "pacman -Syu" before installing packages in Arch.
