[SOLVED] cannot resolve dependency

Whenever I try to install gnome I am getting error message - "Cannot resolve dependency " for some files. for example whenever I am trying to install adesklets the error msg is  :
[devil@scorp ~]$ yaourt -S adesklets
Password:
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "ttf-bitstream-vera", a dependency of "adesklets"
:: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      adesklets 

Do you want to skip the above package(s) for this upgrade? [Y/n]
looking for inter-conflicts...
local database is up to date

i have bitstream vera font installed.

???? whats the solution. Any help?

Thanks.

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

thanks wonder, but the problem still remains.

ok, maybe the mirror that you are using is fucked up or you configured the mirror poorly.

paste pacman.conf and the first Server line from mirrorlist

Re: [SOLVED] cannot resolve dependency

my pacman.conf file ---------------------
#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /
#DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir    = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
# If upgrades are available for these packages they will be asked for first
SyncFirst   = pacman
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl %u > %o
#CleanMethod = KeepInstalled

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
#IgnorePkg   =
#IgnoreGroup =

#NoUpgrade   =
#NoExtract   =

# Misc options (all disabled by default)
#UseSyslog
#ShowSize
#UseDelta
#TotalDownload

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

#[testing]
## Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

#[community-testing]
## Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

# An example of a custom package repository.  See the pacman manpage for
# tips on creating your own repositories.
#[custom]
#Server = file:///home/custompkgs
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64
---------------------------------------------------------------------

mirrorlist

# Czech Republic
Server = ftp://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/arch/$repo/os/x86_64

Re: [SOLVED] cannot resolve dependency

looks good. what about doing pacman -Syyu ?

if is still a problem, try using pacman -S adesklets

it should work, but i don't get it why yaourt does that. i guess it sucks to much
