[SOLVED] pacman upgrade won't work because of unresolved dependency
Hey all,
I tried a pacman -Syyu today and it found some things and said:
:: 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)
:: gcc: requires gcc-libs=4.6.2-6
I have gcc-libs=4.6.2-7 and I apparently need 4.6.2-6 but I can't change anything without pacman, and pacman won't change anything without updating itself first, and it can't because of this unmet dependency, so there's a stalemate.
Any ideas what to do?

What I meant was: Every time somebody types "repost", a kitten is killed.
