error: cannot resolve dependencies for "avahi"

Greetings:
I get the following message when I run paman -Syu

:: Replace mkinitrd with mkinitcpio from "current"? [Y/n]
error: cannot resolve dependencies for "avahi":
       "dbus" is not in the package set

So, I thougth I'd get rid of avahi, but pacman -R avahi returns:

error: this will break the following dependencies:
  avahi: is required by gnome-vfs

I've tried removing dbus from the daemons in rc.conf. I've tired restating dbus folloing instrcutions from another thread here.

Pacman -Ss dbus returns:

community/perl-net-dbus 0.33.3-1
    Perl extension for the DBUS message system

So I am thinking, and am probably completely wrong, that pacman is searching for a repo with dbus in it?

Color me stumped.

Do you have the 'extra' repo enabled?

Yes, I have the default install one uncommented:

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/extra

Should I add a different one?

I added the Vermont 'extra' repository since I live next door to VT and that seems to have done the trick. Updating now!
