Could anyone tell me what is going on?

Re: [SOLVED] Dependency conflict

Apparently you have a version of the broadcom-wl package installed which wants a kernel with version lower than 2.6.32.  The update likely wants to install the newest kernel in the core repo which is version 2.6.32.x.

The broadcom-wl package on the AUR right now has the dependency kernel26<2.6.33, so this one will probably work for you.

I would rebuild the broadcom-wl AUR package and then retry the pacman -Syu

Re: [SOLVED] Dependency conflict

I inputted:
pacman -Rd broadcom-wl

then:
pacman -Syu

and I was able to fix it, and update my system. I don't even use a broadcom device, so it is odd I had that installed. Thank you for your help.
