I can't update with pacman, I keep getting errors. Output:

Has anyone else experienced this, or know what's wrong?

I tried to update everything individually, and everything worked except the kernel:

[root@vaio ~]# pacman -Sy kernel26

man pacman would do you good. Try the --force option.

pacman -Sfy kernel26

did the trick. Much thanks.

Do you know why I had to force it?
