Hello.
I need a little help with this problem.What can i do?

sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
archlinuxfr is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "util-linux-ng>=2.16", a dependency of "hal"
warning: cannot resolve "util-linux-ng>=2.16", a dependency of "libsm"
:: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      hal  libsm 

Do you want to skip the above package(s) for this upgrade? [Y/n] y
looking for inter-conflicts...
local database is up to date

change to an up to date mirror or wait to sync properly

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Yes, it is related. These versions of udev  and util-linux-ng have been recently moved to core.  Wait for your mirror to sync.
