https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24070 is in AUR and uses linux-headers, as we're using linux 3 kernel.

Sorry, that does not mean anything to me. Are you saying I need to install audit from the AUR first?

Why aren't you using the current kernel?

audit depends on linux-headers (kernel v. 3.x) whereas you have installed kernel26-headers (kernel 2.6.x). You need to update your packages. If your mirrors are ok you just need to pacman -Syyu. Otherwise, choose a different mirror.

I have tried that command and still am getting the same error. How then can I force audit or force new kernel headers so I can update my system?

Pick a fresh mirrorlist http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/ and run 'pacman -Syyu'. You should get a ton of updates, including the new kernel, kernel headers etc. If linux-headers is not installed during the update, install it with 'pacman -S linux-headers'. then update audit.

OK, think I've solved it, thanks to falconindy on the IRC channel. I first of all removed the "audit" package, as it was something pulled in from AUR, for whatever reason. All seems OK now. Marked solved.
