lsblk (util-linux) links to libudev, and
udevd (udev) links to libblk.

Is this causing any problems?

Just a Pacman warning (on -S base)

resolving dependencies...
warning: dependency cycle detected:
warning: util-linux will be installed before its udev dependency
looking for inter-conflicts...

Ok. Thanks, hadn't seen that. I'll look into if this is worth changing (I could split out utli-linux-libs).

FYI, this is blocking all upgrades from an old version of pacman, where this cycle is a fatal error not a warning;
It doesn't even try to upgrade pacman first despite being listed in SyncFirst param.

@ Fabien, i solved this fatal error on my old netbook by removing base-devel and installing it again after Pacman -Syu
