pacman will not -Syu<solved>

I did use Shaman for ease of browsing packages.
There was a conflict with Shaman so I did pacman -Rsn shaman.

Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n] y
(1/1) removing shaman                               [#####################] 100%

I then did pacman -Syu:

:: The following packages should be upgraded first :
    pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] y

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: pacman-color: requires pacman=3.2.2

I then tried pacman -Sy pacman:

bash-4.0# pacman -Sy pacman
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
kdemod-legacy is up to date
archlinuxfr is up to date
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :

:: pacman-color: requires pacman=3.2.2

pacman=3.2.2????

Remove pacman-color, install the new pacman, rebuild pacman-color, install it.
