I worked around this by removing gcc-multilib first.

I have this problem too, but removing gcc-libs-multilib would break too many packages so I cannot remove it.

I had this problem. I added the multilib repository to pacman.conf, then pacman was able to do the update.

That was it. I am SO SORRY about filing this bug. When Pacman was updated to the latest version I started with a new pacman.conf, and should have guessed that. This should be closed.

Don‘t be sorry! Other people propably had this problem and this conversation should have been helpful to them.
