Guys, My attempt at upgrade failed this evening due to the following perl dependency: 23:50 archangel:~> pmsu :: Synchronizing package databases... kdemod-legacy is up to date core 35.5K 108.0K/s 00:00:00 [################################] 100% extra 454.0K 129.4K/s 00:00:04 [################################] 100% community-testing 3.2K 54.9K/s 00:00:00 [################################] 100% community 376.5K 127.8K/s 00:00:03 [################################] 100% archlinuxfr 11.8K 40.6K/s 00:00:00 [################################] 100% :: Starting full system upgrade... warning: network-ups-tools: ignoring package upgrade (2.4.1-2 => 2.4.3-1) resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "perl>=5.12.1", a dependency of "system-tools-backends" :: the following package(s) cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: system-tools-backends Do you want to skip the above package(s) for this upgrade?
