I can't believe this. You are an Arch user and it never occurred to you that you should go check with a pacman -Ss gimp-light, and then when there is no result, check the AUR? How about a pacman -Si scribus?

Believe it.

Here, the issue isn't "can't you check", the issue is "why did scribus attempt to satisfy a dependency with gimp-light?" That is why I posted the question. I had never seen pacman attempt to satisfy and dependency with a non-existent or aur package before. But it did. The lack of a gimp-light caused pacman to fail to upgrade anything. Thus, the post. The questions wasn't "why isn't gimp-light in the repos?" or "Is AUR the only place for gimp-light?", the question was "why/how is scribus looking for it in the first place?"

It doesn't. Either you have a broken system or a voodoo magician nearby (and we don't believe in magic). What was the exact error of pacman?

Indeed it doesn't, David. It seems 'gimp-light' provides 'gimp', so probably it is needed for some other package of yours. Maybe you can reproduce the error e paste in here ? Rafael
