Re: pacman system upgrade

Alternatively, try to first upgarde pacman alone. First do pacman -Sy to get the latest database and then do pacman -S pacman so that you have the latest version of pacman. The latest version of pacman can AFAIK handle the awkward xfree86 updates more gracefully.

Re: pacman system upgrade

Scrollkeeper errors and dependency errors are two different things.

The scrollkeeper errors are created by a change in the scrollkeeper package.  To get fix them type 'pacman -Sf scrollkeeper'.  Doing a search on the forum would have shown you threads like this one: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … rollkeeper

Dependency errors are probably happening because you've screwed up something.  What are the errors?
