System upgrade fails with pacman - phc-intel requires kernel26<2.6.31

Hello,

I'm a relative newbie to archlinux, so I hope I'm not asking a too stupid question ...
I have installed arch on an IBM Thinkpad X40. Was now on extended holidays and haven't done a system upgrade for a while. Wanted to do this now and pacman -Syy works fine. However, when I then start the upgrade with pacman -Su, the following error message occurs:

:: Starte komplette Systemaktualisierung...
:: portmap durch core/rpcbind ersetzen? [J/n] J
Löse Abhängigkeiten auf...
Suche nach Zwischen-Konflikten...
Fehler: Konnte den Vorgang (Kann Abhängigkeiten nicht erfüllen) nicht vorbereiten
:: phc-intel: benötigt kernel26<2.6.31

translated into English it basically means that pacman wants to replace portmap with rpcbind. However, the following error message occurs whether or not I say yes. The error messages says that it cannot fulfill the dependencies as phc-intel requires kernel26<2.6.31. The strange thing is that my kernel at the moment is 2.6.29.
A first run of pacman -u worked fine but only upgraded pacman itself. I had a pacman.conf.pacnew in /etc which I renamed to pacman.conf and kept the old one as a backup. However, this also didn't change anything.

I hope you guys can help me out, thanks in advance,

F.

Re: System upgrade fails with pacman - phc-intel requires kernel26<2.6.31

phc-intel is your job to rebuild for 2.6.32 kernel because is in aur.
remove that package and do pacman -Syu, then get it again from aur and change dependency

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

Re: System upgrade fails with pacman - phc-intel requires kernel26<2.6.31

The update will be trying to install a new kernel, which is why you're getting the error. For packages in the repos, a new one would be built that's compatible with the new kernel. Since it looks like phc-intel is from the AUR you'll need to build a new version yourself.

Edit - that's what I get for stepping away for a bit, you already got a response and fixed it
