[arch-general] Pacman update fails to commit transaction

[Pham Bao Trung]

If you want to get almost instant reponds, you can visit IRC channel
#archlinux on freenode. There are many Arch geeks on that channel, who can
answer questions with any levels of difficulty but remember not to ask so
simple questions because some guys there are pretty unfriendly to newbie
questions. Anyway welcome on board. Arch is an overload of awesomeness :))
