confusion about using testing

I tried uncommenting the testing repo in pacman.conf, I noticed that I hadn't been updating any packages recently even though I saw they had been updated in the Arch homepage

root@dogma ~ # pacman -Syu;abs
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 testing                  [################] 100%      70K    22.0K/s  00:00:03
 current                  [################] 100%      45K    17.4K/s  00:00:02

:: unstable is up to date
:: community is up to date
:: Replace fam with gamin from "testing"? [Y/n] y
:: Replace gcc-g77 with gcc-fortran from "testing"? [Y/n] y
error: unresolvable dependencies:
  gcc-g77: requires gcc=3.4.3
  gcc-fortran: requires gcc=>4.0.0-2 but it is not in the sync db

Answering yes didn't seem to ever do anything so on a whim I decided to comment out the testing repo, which gave me this:

I am a bit confused how to properly use 'testing'


EDIT: I really want to try the new Amarok in testing

Re: confusion about using testing

Uhm ... I'm using testing and I encountered the same problems with some KDE packages. However, seems like something has been updated (pacman, nvidia) during the process.

Try this:
First, re insert the testing repo.
Then before update remove gcc-g77 (and every package that gives unresolved dependencies)
Upgrade with pacman -Syu
Install the previously removed packages

Re: confusion about using testing

Now I am confused, too.

I added a testing server list into /etc/pacman.d/, and changed the testing section in /etc/pacman.conf to read this file for servers. After that, my system switches completely to testing. It would be nice to stay with "current", and fetch only some parts from "testing", I could not reach this using pacman. Trying pacman -S testing/foo will result in nothing ( on my arch computers ).

 pacman -Syu
