Unresolved dependencies after accidentally aborting upgrade

I ran a pacman -Syu and aborted the installation process during the downloading of packages phase thinking it wouldn't matter and it would just resume after restarting, but now I get the following problem:

pacman -Syu
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "libcap=2.47", a dependency of "lib32-libcap"
warning: cannot resolve "libcap=2.47", a dependency of "lib32-libcap"
warning: cannot resolve "libinstpatch=1.1.6", a dependency of "lib32-libinstpatch"
warning: cannot resolve "libcap=2.47", a dependency of "lib32-libcap"
warning: cannot resolve "libinstpatch=1.1.6", a dependency of "lib32-libinstpatch"
:: The following packages cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      lib32-libcap  lib32-libinstpatch

How do I go about fixing this?

Thanks

Re: Unresolved dependencies after accidentally aborting upgrade

Aborting during the download phase generally won't hurt anything, as long as you finish the update before installing anything else.

It sounds like your databases are out of sync. Try pacman -Syyu, and if that doesn't work, try a different mirror.
