why is it trying to update foomatic-* ? I already have:
kris ~ $ p -Qs foomatic
extra/foomatic-db-engine 3.0_20081031-1
Foomatic is a system for using free software printer drivers with common
spoolers on Unix
extra/foomatic-filters 3.0_20081031-1
Foomatic is a system for using free software printer drivers with common
spoolers on Unix

Installed. Perhaps an other package depends on a former version of these pkgs?

The foomatic packages in the repos have the "force" option specified which is used when we need to force downgrading of packages. To stop this add the packages to the IgnorePkg line in pacman.conf.
