nitrogen is package from Arch extra.
this looks like error on your side, you probably have outdated package database.
run
pacman -Sy
or
pacman -Syy
to update it.
For the future it is best to always try to update database when installing new packages.
to do that you can attach y option to install command, example:
pacman -Sy nitrogen
yeah i'm aware of this
but it's weird cuz it seems like pacman -Syy will download all packages but not gonna install them
[zalew f]# pacman -Syy nitrogen

:o i think i may have installed something that did mess out there but im not sure
thanks for replying and sorry for writing on this forum about such a silly things like this.
there are also two more things. octopi started to behave weird it wont ask me for password anymore and says i need kdesu or gksu front end or something
also for some reason trackpad in my laptop doesnt wanna do a thing :P
thanks
OK, erroring package "glibmm" with version "2.56", the version in Arch is already "2.58"
It was updated a day ago, see: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/glibmm/
As I said this problem is caused by mirrors, try to switch arch mirrors or wait some time for mirror to update.
Or go and report this to arch or mirror admin.
I believe that the mirror from which you download package database is little out of date.
You can find arch mirrorlist in "/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch"
pacman -Sy doesn't download or install/upgrade any packages, it only updates your database. If you want to install glibmm this is what you have to do.
okay thanks for making it clear what's the cause, because i wasn't sure, i knew it's something from my side. Thanks!
Ok, i fixed it now :-). Thank you!! Already downloaded nitrogen.
