pacman -Syu errors

I try to do pacman -Syu and pacman syncs my db, shows me the pkgs that need updating:

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]

If I say "Y", I get the following conflicts:

What could the problem be?  Does this have something to do with the Gnome 2.6 problems that there've been recently?  I don't run Gnome, but I have some libs, etc. of theirs...

I'm currently installing the pkgs one by one (which works fine), but I'd like to be able to pacman -Syu again someday. 

I'm running Arch 0.7, Kernel 2.6.5, P4 2400, 1 GB RAM, Geforce FX 5200.

I will update if there are any further developments.  Thanks in advance!

Re: pacman -Syu errors

I had to pacman -Rd irssi, and then reinstall it and now I only get the first /opt/gnome/etc/gconf... error...

I tried pacman -Rd'ing gconf, but that doesn't work.  My GTK apps all work fine...I dunno...

Re: pacman -Syu errors

Well, it finally worked...I'm not sure what pkg was the one causing the error, as a specific pkg wasn't listed as the one causing the problem in pacman's log or pacman's verbose mode...

I'm gonna submit a feautre request on this one...
