inetutils is in the 'base' group, you are expected to have the whole 'base' (and 'base-devel' if you're compiling something) installed.

Thanks for the information Karol

When I initially installed arch I had both "base" and "base-devel" groups selected
Unfortunately inetutils have been added to "base" at a later stage, thus leaving me in a "detached state"

Apologies but I have no idea how to "force" pacman to keep up with such changes, and I did not notice the News message :(

Please consider this as "User Error" and close the bug report

You should pay more attention to the Arch news: http://www.archlinux.org/news/hostname-utility-moved-from-net-tools-to-inetutils/ , pacman won't always provide a replacement package.

There is no other way atm.
