[Solved] failed to prepare transaction lead to update fail

I haven't update the system for quite a while, and when I try to update it today, I ran into issues as below:

$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace farsight2 with extra/farstream? [Y/n]

:: Replace procps with core/procps-ng? [Y/n]

:: ndiswrapper-lts: requires ndiswrapper-utils=1.56

:: savage-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2
:: sis-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2
:: tdfx-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2

My pacman is up to date, and I have searched similar issue in the forum but none of them is helping,
So I don't know how to proceed now.

:: r128-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2
:: savage-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2
:: sis-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2
:: tdfx-dri: requires libgl=7.11.2

I'm fairly certain you won't be needing those anymore. It should be safe to remove them.

:: ndiswrapper-lts: requires ndiswrapper-utils=1.56
:: ndiswrapper-lts: requires kernel26-lts>=2.6.32
:: ndiswrapper-lts: requires kernel26-lts<2.6.33

Are you planning to upgrade your kernel from kernel26-lts to for example linux-lts? If so, you can use the "normal" ndiswrapper in the extra repo and can safely remove ndiswrapper-lts as well.

Are you saying this didn't help?
