[SOLVED]Pacman not seeing qt4

Hello everyone,

I just did a full upgrade (pacman -Syu) and now I have a problem with pacman not seeing qt4.
I haven't upgraded since the qt->qt4 transition.

The message I get is:

[jonas@archlinux modprobe.d]$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date         0.0   B  0.00B/s 00:00 [co  o  o  o  o  o  o  ]   0%

warning: cannot resolve "qt4", a dependency of "lib32-qt4"
:: The following packages cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      lib32-qt4  skype

Do you want to skip the above packages for this upgrade? [y/N] 
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: lib32-qt4: requires qt4
:: lib32-qt4: requires qt4

I have checked with the first mirror in mirrorlist, that the qt4 package is there.

Could it be missing from the extra.db file? (it seems to be binary, how do I read them?)
Should I somehow clear the pacman-cache?
What else?

Thanks,
Batnas

The first thing you should try is changing your mirror and -Syyu.

Thanks alot.

I did 'pacman -Syyu' (without changing mirror) and it installed a lot of new packages and now everything works.

Thanks
