Telling pacman to --ignore ignore kernel26-lts,kernel26-lts-headers failed as well, but ignoring kernel26-lts,kernel26-lts-headers,linux-lts,linux-lts-headers did work. Probably not worth a bug report for a 1-off name change, but let me know if you want it filed anyway and I'm happy to do it. The full output of trying the --ignore is provided below: [08:16 archangel:/etc] # pacman -Syu --ignore kernel26-lts,kernel26-lts-headers :: Synchronizing package databases... core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date archlinuxfr is up to date xyne-any is up to date aaany is up to date aapkg is up to date :: Starting full system upgrade... warning: ignoring package replacement (kernel26-lts-2.6.32.53-1 => linux-lts-3.0.17-2) warning: ignoring package replacement (kernel26-lts-headers-2.6.32.53-1 => linux-lts-headers-3.0.17-2) :: Replace module-init-tools with core/kmod?
