Pacman won't let me upgrade to udev-079-1. It tells me that
it needs to remove hotplug. Fine. Then it tells me that it
can't because hotplug is dependent on hwd. OK, so I go and
uninstall hwd, and then try to do the upgrade again, and it
STILL gives me the same message (about not being able to
uninstall hotplug due to hwd) - even though hwd is not
longer installed.
So I can't do the upgrade. There doesn't seem to be any workaround for this. I'm seeing this behavior on 3 different Arch boxes. |

Take a look at the files in /var/lib/pacman/extra/hwd-4.7.1-1. Do you see any references to hotplug in the "desc" or "depends" files?
What happens if you completely remove the directory /var/lib/pacman/extra/hwd-4.7.1-1 and then try --sync'ing udev? (Btw, don't --refresh first, or the hwd directory will show up again).

# tar cjf pacmandb.tar.bz2 /var/lib/pacman
Then email the resulting pacmandb.tar.bz2 to me and I'll take a look. Thanks.
Here are the steps to manually fix. I know this isn't ideal. If many users have this problem, I'll post a script or equivalent that will do the job for them.
1. As root, edit "/var/lib/pacman/local/hotplug-2004_09_23-4/depends" with a text editor
2. Delete all package names that come _after_ "%REQUIREDBY%" and _before_ the blank line that comes before "%CONFLICTS%"
For example, here is the depends file before editing. I've explicitly marked the blank lines.
[snip]
%DEPENDS%
usbutils
-----BLANK LINE HERE-----
%REQUIREDBY%
hwd
pcmciautils
udev
-----BLANK LINE HERE-----
%CONFLICTS%
-----BLANK LINE HERE-----
%PROVIDES%
-----BLANK LINE HERE-----
[/snip]
Now here is the file after editing.

%DEPENDS%

-----BLANK LINE HERE-----
%REQUIREDBY%
-----BLANK LINE HERE-----
%CONFLICTS%

[/snip]
Once finished editing, try upgrading again. I tested with your DB, Eugenia, and this hacky little solution worked. Sorry for the confusion.
