I have not updated my system for about a month, so now I tried to run an upgrade and during that pacman had some issues with udev. This is what I get when separately upgrading udev:
$ sudo pacman -S udev

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.Can I just force the upgrade or what's going on there?

Run 'pacman -Syu'.

And what exactly is that supposed to accomplish? As I have already stated in my initial post: there is a problem with udev.
$ sudo pacman -Su

udev hooks have been recently removed from the mkinitcpio package and are now included in udev package

Okay, but what I am supposed to do now to update my system? I still can't upgrade udev. Shall I simply -Sf the upgrade?

First let's make sure your system is OK, follow https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130138
Run 'pacman -Qo /lib/initcpio/hooks/udev' etc.

Hello Stalafin,
I just had the same problem because I was trying to make a partial update. Do the following to solve yours :
sudo pacman -S pacman
sudo pacman -Syu
Do not forget the "y" in the last command.

If the hooks have been removed from mkinitcpio and moved to the udev package, first update mkinitcpio alone, then update udev, then do the rest of the full system upgrade...
That way, the mkinitcpio upgrade will remove those files, so that they're gone when udev wants to replace them.
You know you're paranoid when you start thinking random letters while typing a password.

I just did 'pacman -Syu' and had no problems.
