upgrade problem

When I try upgrade pacman I get this:

:: Synchronizing package databases...
:: current is up to date
:: extra is up to date
:: community is up to date

:: pacman has detected a newer version of the "pacman" package.
:: It is recommended that you allow pacman to upgrade itself
:: first, then you can re-run the operation with the newer version.
::
:: Upgrade pacman first? [Y/n]
error: unresolvable dependencies:
  pacman: requires libarchive but it is not in the sync db
  pacman: requires libdownload but it is not in the sync db

Anybody knows what to do?

Re: upgrade problem

I also had to install fakeroot for the install to complete successfully. I was using the srcpac wrapper though, so that may have caused it.
