Can't install anythnig. "atl2: requires kernel26<2.6.26"
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: atl2: requires kernel26<2.6.26
2.6.25-ARCH
It also complained about ndiswrapper, which I removed with pacman -R (I can still use it however), but I can't remove atl2, since that's the module I use to download stuff with.
How do I solve this problem?

You should first update your complete system with pacman -Syu.
If you get the same problem install first atl2 with pacman -Sy atl2 followed by a complete system upgrade.

pacman -Sy updates your local package list; before trying to install a package, always make sure you update that list to avoid these kinds of problems.

kernel 2.6.25? Wow. We'll be at 2.6.28 in core in the next few days.

Re: Can't install anythnig. "atl2: requires kernel26<2.6.26"
Thanks guys, I ran pacman -Sy atl2 to download latest kernel and latest atl2.
However, when I run pacman -Syu I get
error: could not prepare transaction
followed by like 300 "klibc: /usr/lib/klibc/xxx/yyy/zzz.h exists in filesystem"
which is followed by a "Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded."
Why isn't it upgrading my system?

It's always a good idea to follow the news posted on the frontpage, as well as the "Announcements, Package and Security Advisories" forum. The problem you came across (and its solution) is mentioned in this news item.
I hope your upgrade goes smoothly.

oh that. You should note that with arch you have to keep up2date and follow the newsitems posted a bit. Your solution is here: http://www.archlinux.org/news/411/

Re: Can't install anythnig. "atl2: requires kernel26<2.6.26"
Forget about atl2 - it's no longer a separate package, as it has been merged into the mainline kernel.
More generally, it's not just a good idea to read the news - it's essential if you are serious about using Arch. If you haven't read this yet, read it now.
