package dependences block other packages

After pacman -Syu I've got an error.

:: thunderbird-spell-pl requires thunderbird=2.0.0.4

From arch's site I knew about other fresh packages, so I've removed thunderbird-spell-pl and make pacman -Syu again. After that I was able to update:

 hunspell-1.1.8-1  opera-9.22-1  thunderbird-2.0.0.5-1  thunderbird-i18n-2.0.0.5-1  wine-0.9.41-1

How can I make pacman update all packages (opera, wine etc.) bypassing those with dependencies conflicts (in my case thunderbird packages).
"pacman -Syu --ignore" or adding package to ignore list in /etc/pacman.conf is not a solution.

That's not a wise thing to do, but you could try with -d (--nodeps). That's in pacman manpage btw.

I don't want to make version conflicts.
The case is clear. There is no new (2.0.0.5) version of thunderbird-spell-pl in repository. Could'nt just pacaman in that case skip updating: thunderbird and thunderbird-i18n to 2.0.0.5 (to prevent version conflicts) and update the rest?

looks like the package has been updated in the community for the thunderbird-spell-pl.

Yes, I've already get it. But there is still problem. pacman -Syu upgrade all my packages or none if there is some dependences problem (lack of one file). I wish it update all or just those packages without dependencies problem.

So you mean something like an auto ignore feature ?
Then please write a feature request for it on bugs.archlinux.org .
