OK.

OK.

OK. FWIW, the list of packages was:

attica  binutils  boost-libs  eclipse  eclipse-cdt  faac  ffmpeg  gcc
gcc-libs  gnutls  grep  gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins  icu  jedit  kdebase-runtime
 kdelibs  libcups  libgl  liblrdf  libmp4v2  libproxy  libtool  libva  linux
mesa mkinitcpio  openjdk6  pcre  poppler  poppler-glib  qt  raptor  soprano
swig  xine-lib  xorg-server-xephyr

> pacman -Su

Not OK:
