[SOLVED] Neglected Laptop

Hi all, I have a Dell Mini 9 laptop that i installed Arch on sometime last year. However it has been months (maybe 6 or 7) since I did a pacman -Syu on this machine.

When I run pacman -Syu I get the following errors:

[root@abra f]# pacman -Syu

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

P.S. - I don't even use gvim. All I use (and will ever use) is vim.

Re: [SOLVED] Neglected Laptop

you got so many problems because udev and kernel26 are in ignore list

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

Re: [SOLVED] Neglected Laptop

Okay I got rid of all the packages that I had on the ignore list:   #IgnorePkg   = kernel26 broadcom-wl udev

However, when I pacman -Syu I now get:

[root@abra f]# pacman -Syu

Re: [SOLVED] Neglected Laptop

Update your broadcom-wl package. The dependency for the current package is kernel26>=2.6.29.
