Three Broken Dependencies in all:

22:17 alchemy:~> ls -1 archlinux/install/*gz
archlinux/install/libjpeg-7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
archlinux/install/libmng-1.0.10-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
archlinux/install/libtiff-3.8.2-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

	Installing libjpeg, libmng and libtiff from testing with pacman -U then allows a system update to proceed normally.
