I am stuck. What should I do?

Re: cannot update

The plasma-meta 5.6-1 was pushed to extra four hours ago, and it drops the dependency on the removed oxygen-cursors package.

But they were moved together into the same repo, so unless you have IgnorePkg'ed something I am a bit confused as to how you could get that error on a `pacman -Syu`

...

Or your mirror somehow managed to sync during the seven-minute window that the updated plasma-meta package was not available according to the svntogit logs. Not unreasonable since it happened on either side of the hour.
So just wait until your mirror syncs, I guess (or find one that isn't a couple hours out of date, what kind of a bleeding edge distro do you think this is anyway ).

ok, I changed mirror and now is working.

I wonder what kind of mirror problem is that.
