Actually, that was kind of funny. The last time I tried something like this, my refrigerator settings went all out of whack.
Thanks for the info.
UPDATE:
I pressed 'Y' and did the upgrade. I shut off my computer and restarted it without any problems whatsoever. Thank you very much for the help.
Best regards.

When I pressed "Y", my credit card was immediately charged $5,000 US. I'm working with the credit card company right now to try to recover at least some of the cash.
Same bug here

've got clean arch x64, and was installing openbox stuff...
pacman -Syu
pacman -S openbox obconf
resolving dependecies...
warning: provider package was selected (linux-api-headers provides kernel-headers)
looking for inter-conflicts..
:: linux-api-headers conflicts with kernel-headers. Remove kernel-headers? [b]YES[/b]
:: util-linux-ng conflicts with e2fsprogs. remove e2sprogs ? yes/no
if I press yes
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: cryptsetup requieres e2fsprogs
:: gcc
:: jfsutils
:: nfs utils
:: xfsprogs
all thoose tools requieres e2fsprogs
if I press no
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction
so what should I do if I have linux from the box and want to install openbox ?? o_O

Someone may need to confirm this with someone, but you might need to skip the dependancy check when removing kernel-headers then install linux-api-headers.
pacman -Rd kernel-headers
pacman -S linux-api-headers

Nope. It looks like a case of a badly outdated mirror. e2fsprogs does not conflict with util-linux-ng. Try changing mirrors and updating again.

linux-api-headers has nothing to do with the kernel. It is part of the toolchain.
I'm glad to see this explicitly stated. I had problems with a kernel upgrade, so I added
IgnorePkg = kernel26
to my /etc/pacman.conf. Ever since I've had concerns when I see kernel-headers package version change, fearing a mismatch. And because of that I've said no to the replace with linux-api-headers.
Now that I've seen this, I'll accept the upgrade.
