[SOLVED] Missing Dependency: kernel26-headers

So we've got

$ uname -r
2.6.38-ARCH

and then when I try to install my wireless drivers (from here)

$ makepkg -s
...
error: target not found: kernel26-headers>=2.6.38
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

So then I tried

$ sudo pacman -S kernel26-headers

but that says

Targets (1): kernel26-headers-2.6.37.5-1

and I still can't build the package. How do I get the right headers?

Re: [SOLVED] Missing Dependency: kernel26-headers

did you try other mirrors? Maybe you caught a mirror during a sync

You called it. Switched repositories, pacman -Syy, and it grabbed the right headers! Thanks.
