This
thread just prompted me to check and yeah I hadn't had anything for at least
a few days. I just did a sort of Monte-Carlo test, by switching mirrors in
/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and suddenly got a whole load of updates.

For
reference, the mirror I was using (with no updates) was


http://www.mirrorservice.org/

and the one I switched to (with the
updates) was

http://ftp5.gwdg.de

HTH!
