pacman -Syu Problem

Hi,

It's been awhile since doing a full system upgrade. When I try "pacman -Syu", I get this following error:

Does anyone have an idea how to handle this problem?

thanks.

Re: pacman -Syu Problem

I think you could probably get away with pacman -Sf libgsf-gnome then a pacman -Syu
