I can't upgrade pacman

Hello,

I have postponed the upgrade of the system due to the exams period. Today, I tried and I get an error. Do you have any clue what I should do?

# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :
    pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] y

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: package-query: requires pacman<3.6
:: valgrind: requires glibc<2.15

# pacman -Q valgrind
valgrind 3.7.0-1
# pacman -Q glibc
glibc 2.14.1-4
# pacman -Q pacman
pacman 3.5.4-4

Re: I can't upgrade pacman

Q means query so you're merely telling us you already have the versions needed

valgrind and pacman have been upgraded recently so if you remove package-query (and yaourt), upgrade pacman and then the other stuff and reinstall yaourt if you wish

Thanks! I also had to remove valgrind.
