Description:
Trying to upgrade the system with pacman -Syu, pacman offered to upgrade pacman first. when trying to do just that. i get a dependency error with gcc depending on gcc-lib

$ pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :
pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] y

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc: requires gcc-libs=4.7.0-3



in order to avoid this problem, i upgraded gcc first, and then did a new pacman -Syu

maybe this is expected behaviour, but i dont see pacman depending on gcc or gcc-libs
This task depends upon
