[SOLVED] pacman -Syu fails with missing gnutls

Here are the shell texts:

What is this gnutils? I tried to set up gnome-utils, but that did not help. The same error also appears on my second comnputer.

My report was removed pretty quickly - everything seems to be ok for the others. I think it has something to do with the newest version of KDE I installed. Perhaps it has broken the database somehow.

Re: [SOLVED] pacman -Syu fails with missing gnutls

I got it solved now The reason was that I had ftp.nluug.nl*/current as the top server in /etc/pacman.d/current and it seems that they didn't have their packages repo updated to the latest - it was not in sync with the main arch current repo. The version of gnutls they had was 1.0.24 while the ftp.archlinux.org has 1.2.4.

Re: [SOLVED] pacman -Syu fails with missing gnutls

Did you install... or upgrade KDE?

If you did an upgrade, did you do it according to the KDE upgrading Wiki?

Re: [SOLVED] pacman -Syu fails with missing gnutls

I just upgraded it from KDE itself via konsole. The only bad effect I experienced was that the quick launch icons next to the K - menu icon disappeared. I already had upgraded kde to 3.4 and the latest upgrade was to 4.3.1 and did not follow wiki guidelines - except on the other computer. On that the icons stayed - just as described in the wiki.

But about the problem itself: it seems odd to me that all the different repos that are hosting current are not in sync. Arch original repo is a bit slower for me than ftp.nluug.nl.
