Partial upgrades are unsupported and old packages removed, update your entire system with

pacman -Syu seabios

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Solved, thanks!
To better understand this, I had to update other packages as well because there were incompatibilities between seabios?

No, not in this case. Seabios doesn't have any dependencies so no incompatibilities with other packages on your system.
It's just that your pacman database hadn't been updated recently so pacman was looking for an old version which no longer exists on the mirrors.
Updating the pacman database should always be accomponied by an update of all packages on the system so that you don't end up in a partial update situation.
