Package Version Conflicts (and a LOT of them)

Hello,

I've been using Arch happily for a while now, and I decided to upgrade my system (it's been a few days).
So I typed in the magic words, and this is what happened;

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gvfs: requires bluez-libs>=3.31

Should I just NOT replace bluez-libs with bluez? That doesn't seem like a solution because;
a) the bluez package made it to extra, so it must work
b) it wouldn't explain why my packages are newer than they're supposed to be

Help would be appreciated.

thanks

Re: Package Version Conflicts (and a LOT of them)

Looks like you are using a lot of packages from the Testing repo.
example :
alsa-lib 1.0.17.a-1 is in Testing , the version in extra is 1.0.16-1 .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)

I believe (i could be wrong) that repos are used in the order in your pacman.conf, so put testing first in your pacman.conf and that should fix most of those except the bluez issue.
