PRO pacman upgrade problems

[inchhigh]

Hi All,
New to this all, so I apologize in advance for n00b questions.

I was following the guide here:
http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6 ... provideov3

I go through Step 13, rebooted, tried to run the following:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Sy udev-automount')

it ended up complaining about
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ':: gnupg and gnupg2 are in conflict. Remove gnupg2? [y/N] ')

If I say no it fails with unresolved dependencies, so I hit Y and let it run, when it was complete I rebooted, the light on the front would bilnk a lot and then stop, I couldn't SSH in, so I followed the directions at the bottom of the page and moved my flash drive to a linux box and re-extracted the root-fs, after doing this, I can now boot up and SSH into the plug, but when I try step 14 again I get the following:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@alarm ~]# pacman -Sy udev-automount

Any thoughts on how to go about updating the system?

thanks!

Apologies, I see there is another very similar post
viewtopic.php?f=29&t=2690

I will give those steps a try.

Well I guess step 14 would probably be better as step 17.

I personnally tend to do step 16 as follows:

pacman -Syuf (using the force flag)
when asked to update pacman before the other ones say NO (it is listed in as a regular package update anyway)
there are a couple package changes accept them.

then the usual customization : change the root password, edit /etc/rc.conf to change the hostname and so forth.
