[SOLVED] Problems upgrading pygobject-devel, python-gobject

I try to update the mentioned packages but pacman says this:

Errors accured, no packets were upgraded.

Should I just delete these files and try again? Or is this a known problem with a fix I don't know?

*.pyc files sometimes cause issues like this, I think you can just delete them.
