[SOLVED] Pacman- Unresolved dependencies, won't update packages

Hello,
I just installed Arch today. I'm already in love! But, when I try to update everything through pacman, this is what happens:

[NULL@NULL-home ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
Password:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
kdemod-core is up to date
kdemod-extragear is up to date
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace procinfo with core/procinfo-ng? [Y/n] y
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: broadcom-wl: requires kernel26<2.6.33

How can I fix this so that pacman will update?

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman- Unresolved dependencies, won't update packages

//blue/0/~/ aurget -Sp broadcom-wl | grep depends
depends=('kernel26>=2.6.29')
makedepends=('kernel26-headers')

upgrade your broadcom-wl with the latest AUR version.  you've got an old one which is not compatible with the latest kernel.

I'm sorry, how exactly would I do that?

Look at makepkg.  Or you could use an AUR helper like aurget!

Most broadcom cards works with the in-kernel driver now. -Rd broadcom-wl, -Syu and try the kernel driver.

What you suggested worked perfectly. Thanks.

I'm not the thought police or anything:D, but you should probably modify the subject line to state "solved"

aleccj1 - glad you got sorted, but this thread was entirely unnecessary. There have been numerous others on this topic, and you would have found them if you had searched before posting.

Also:

upgrade your broadcom-wl with the latest AUR version.  you've got an old one which is not compatible with the latest kernel.

I'm sorry, how exactly would I do that?

You should not install software on your system if you do not know how to upgrade it. The answer in this case is "the same way you installed it in the first place".

Do your homework before asking simple questions.

I never installed it... I installed through Chakra, so, yeah...
