[SOLVED] epdfview, evince and xpdf has unresolvable dependencies

Hi!
I'm new to archlinux and to the forum, maybee should have posted this in the newbie section but I figured it made more sense to post here. I am trying to dowload a pdf-viewer, preferably epdfview, but I get unresolved dependency errors no matter what viewer I try with.

For example:

pacman -S epdfview

results in the following error message

warning: cannot resolve "openjpeg>=1.3-3", a dependency of "poppler"
:: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      epdfview

I have tried with different mirrors but so far they all seem to report the same error, and all the mirrors I've used seems to be up-to-date.

Can you post what's in /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist ?

Without seeing that, a couple thoughts:
1. Make sure you don't have extra disabled in pacman.conf - not too likely since you are seeing epdfview which is also in extra.
2. Try pacman -Syy - this will force a download of the package databases rather than just checking what's been added since your last sync, if you've been switching mirrors that might fix things.
3. What happens when you try pacman -S --asdeps openjpeg?  (edited that since I had the wrong command at first)

You can mark the topic as solved then.
