warning: cannot resolve "procps>=3.2.8-4", a dependency of "archboot"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
archboot

Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] n
[/code]

procps is no longer used in Archlinux. This package has been replaced by procps-ng. There is no reason to keep checking procps for dependency and archboot should install fine without this warning.

Please change in PKGBUILD depends list.
Additional info:

* package version(s)
archboot 2014.04-2

* config and/or log files etc.
[b][CODE]
From Archboot git PKGBUILD:

pkgname=archboot
pkgver=2012.04
......
depends=(...'procps>=3.2.8-4'...)

This shouldn't be a problem if you have procps-ng installed as procps-ng provides procps
Except that apparently Archboot has the version required in the dependencies...

procps should be changed to provide procps>=3.2.8-4 or change archboot to depend on procps-ng
