Removing imlib2-cvs: "something has gone horribly wrong

Hi there,

I did a pacman -Syu today, and pacman wanted to replace imlib2-cvs with imlib2. So far, so good. I said "yes" to the removal, but pacman complained that ffmpeg and adesklets require imlib2-cvs.

So I deinstalled those two packages.

Now, if I try to upgrade, I get the following error message:

error: something has gone horribly wrong

If I pacman -R imlib2-cvs, it claims that imlib2-cvs is required by adesklets and ffmpeg--even though those two packages have been removed.

So obviously, something has gone wrong with the pacman "database." Question is: how can I fix it? Delete the entries for adesklets and ffmpeg in /var/lib/pacman? Delete the entry for imlib2-cvs? Do something completely different?

Some feedback would be much welcome. I hope my system is not broken for good ...

Cheers,
-Sascha.rb

Re: Removing imlib2-cvs: "something has gone horribly wrong

pacman -Rd imlib2-cvs
pacman -S imlib2

... let me install the new imlib2 package, after all. No idea whether it fixed the weird dependency issue I had ("something has gone horribly wrong"), but at least it's working ...
