pacman -Syu

error: unresolvable dependencies:
gnome-panel: requires libwnck>=2.16.0

but i already have installed libwnck 2.16.0-1. But it's just that it's not in any repo. Shouldn't pacman also check the local 'repo' to see if that package is installed?
This task depends upon

This happens because libwnck has a force=y option in the PKGBUILD in the repositories. pacman wants to downgrade libwnck to 2.14.x as an update and breaks dependency with your installed gnome-panel which needs 2.16 or higher. It's best to put libwnck in IgnorePkg until gnome 2.16 either gets official, or gets into a repository you can add to pacman.conf.
