When i want to pacman -Suy , i have the following messages:

:: Replace gcc-g77 with gcc-fortran from "extra"? [Y/n] y
error: unresolvable dependencies:
gcc-g77: requires gcc=3.4.3

This is i guess caused by the fact that octave requires gcc-g77
This task depends upon

Octave doesn't require gcc-g77, but gcc-fortran. I think pacman is a bit confused:

- octave upgrade that depends on gcc-fortran now
- gcc update to 4.0.x
- gcc-g77 removal by gcc-fortran

Somehow pacman doesn't do the right dependency matching in these extreme situations.

2 weeks ago, i updated octave to depend on gcc-fortran:

http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/science/octave/?cvsroot=Extra&only_with_tag=CURRENT

can you post this output from your machine:
[damir@Asteraceae ~]$ pacman -Q octave gcc gcc-fortran gcc-g77
octave 2.1.71-4
gcc 4.0.2-2
gcc-fortran 4.0.2-2
Package "gcc-g77" was not found.

how does it look on your system?

I will try next time i will have access to my archlinux machine, (probably not before next week end)

my system is still as it was just before the switch to gcc4
(from memory octave 2.1.71-3 and gcc 3.4.3 )

then you are probably using still gcc-g77, if you have gcc 3.4.3 on your system

octave -4 needs gcc-gfortran instead of gcc-g77, gcc-gfortran depends on gcc=4.x.y

i think Jan is right stating that pacman gets confused a little bit with this big update ;-)

should i forward this bug to Judd?

I thought i let a comment previous week, but it seems it has not been posted correctly
(my system was a bit instable with the just-installed gcc4 base)

So i did pacman -Rcs gcc-g77 which also removed octave.
Then pacman -Suy worked fine , and i was able to re-install octave.

So the bug is in pacman, as the first commant say.
