Suspect the problem is kde related...had several craches while trying to write this comment.
Wonder if I can reload Kde without using pacman??
If I can't fix pacman...can't fix kde..ha ha!
New bug fixes out for Kde today but how to get them?
Need to reload...

you have [current] listed two times,
first in /etc/pacman.conf and also in the Include file,
maybe that's confusing pacman,
arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy

In reviewing the pacman log it seems my problem started after download of bash-3.0-2.

The results of latest efforts at resolving the problem are included in the following list of steps. I first entered an ftp in the [current] section of pacman.conf. before proceeding with the listing below:

The error you are getting about "config:line 3...." does not seem to be preventing the actual operation of pacman so perhaps can be put to one side for a moment.
Your pacman -Syu command appears to have failed only on the basis of a minor file conflict, so I would suggest you rename opt/kde/share/mimelnk/audio/x-ms-wma.desktop to
opt/kde/share/mimelnk/audio/x-ms-wma.desktop.old
and then run pacman -Syu again. Assuming everything still works after the upgrade you can then delete the "old" file you renamed as a backup.

Used mv command to change the file extension to .old....
The result is identical when pacman -Syu is entered...file conflicts as before.

try pacman -Sy
and then pacman -Su
I forgot what the problem was really,
such a long thread....
arch + gentoo + initng + python = enlisy

Solved the remaining difficulty in downloading the kde pkgs for upgrade by deleting kmplayer:
pacman -Rd kmplayer
Then pacman -Syu performed the install of all the programs listed including glibc.
Thanks to all for the help!
Have yet to restore the file set to .old.!!!
