Sorry, bmp is in [extra], not in [current]

The same is for ttf-ms-fonts and xfce4-session.
I removed all .lastupdate files from /var/lib/pacman and -Syu again, but result is the same.

Oh, I see today is a huge update of [extra] and cleanup of [testing].
But why to update packages for Xorg7 while not incrementing build version?
It forces [testing] users to downgrade some packages.
For example, there is artwiz-fonts-1.3-2 in [extra] but it is exactly the same as artwiz-fonts-1.3-3 from [testing] (which is now deleted).

Ok, I understand that in upgrading in this way will be more useful for users who does not use [testing] as they do not need to redownload packages that are changed only for correct install with Xorg7.
But it would be useful if Pacman could handle such situations.

Hmmm... it seems that something is wrong with FTP servers. All my packages have the same versions as archlinux.org/packages.php tells but Pacman wants to downgrade some of them. :-/

Ahhh....... mirrors not updated yet... changed my pacman.conf to update from ftp.archlinux.org and everything works!
Shame on me! :-)
