Looks like you're syncing with an out of date server. Try changing around your server order in /etc/pacman.d/current and /etc/pacman.d/extra. Then try syncing again.

It's safe to ignore; just means that you've synched to a repo that doesn't have the updated versions of packages you've downloaded off another mirror.  It'll go away after a bit on its own.

Re: Pacman -Syu shows more current packages "SOLVED" t

Thanks for the help in soughting out the out of date repository seems my mirror here in  Australia is not updating.

Now I get the following

[root@myhost cliff]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
current                  [################] 100%      65K    24.5K/s  00:00:02
extra                    [################] 100%     232K    59.7K/s  00:00:03
:: Replace glut with freeglut from "current"? [Y/n] y
:: mesa conflicts with celestia. Remove celestia? [Y/n] n

error: package conflicts detected

I like Celestia why replace it, I use Nvidia 6600GT graphics card after replacing my radeon 9250 best move ever worked first go on my various distros .

The ":: mesa conflicts with celestia. Remove celestia?" has been bug reported.

To fix that issue, let it remove celestia. Then grab celestia PKGBUILD from abs, remove the conflicts=('mesa') line then build/install it.

Which mirror are you using? I've found that Pacific Internet is usually a day or so behind but that doesn't bother me so much.

Yes that is the one but I've had this problem for a while now so by reorganizing the pacman.d repositories no problem

Thanks for that love the quick eponse I get on this forum. Just donated a little for the new server too.
