Simply put there are 2 pkg trees: in the official repos and on your system. They are supposed to be in-sync -- that's what pacman -Sy does. pacman -S fetches pkg according to YOUR tree. Over time the sync is lost, so YOUR tree may have nothing in common with the repo (e.g. some packages may not even exist anymore).
Apperently just expecting people to read a post before replying is asking too much. I did a 'pacman -Sy' before anything else. It would really help if the Arch gods would *read* and *try to understand* a request for help on this list before emitting the usual automated response.
