Since you  seem to be in snotty mode  that i neither asked for nor
required.   if the mirrors were up to date then this sort of thing
would not happen  , So Needs must  , I update this machine everyday for
several days i have been told nothing to do when i run "pacman -Syu"
so maybe there is a mirrors problem  sorry but not my department.

If there is new stuff out there and it dont hit the UK mirrors i am in
the UK why should i use German mirrors .
