Try again with a different mirror? Looks like there is about 40 minutes between the the "Last Updated" times of the two packages, your mirror probably last synced in that gap.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman upgrade issue due to Intellij Idea

Just to expand on that, you can see that intellij-idea-community-edition is always tied to a very specific version of the libs (intellij-idea-libs=12.0.1, intellij-idea-libs=12.0.2, etc). The likely situation is that your mirror has gotten the intellij-idea-libs-12.0.2 sync, but is still on intellij-idea-community-edition-12.0.1. pacman won't let you upgrade the libs to 12.0.2 if you're still on 12.0.1 of the IDE, hence Scimmia's suggestion to switch mirrors, or just wait it out.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman upgrade issue due to Intellij Idea

Thanks Scimmia and tdy!
I changed the mirror to Japan's ftp.jaist.ac.jp one but after that, running pacman -Syu said core up to date, community up to date, extra up to date.
Then I did

# mv /var/lib/pacman/sync /var/lib/pacman/sync.bak

Afterwards pacman -Syu worked correctly and upgraded Intellij Idea to 12.0.2-1!!!
Hopefully the second step I posted will help someone :-)

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman upgrade issue due to Intellij Idea

Just fyi, you don't need to do this manually. You add an extra 'y' to force a refresh of the package db:

# pacman -Syyu

Glad you got it sorted out.
