[Solved] Error in system upgrade (ruby-glib2)

Question

Hi there, I tried to upgrade my system but have encountered this problem:
[mike@mike-pc ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronising package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace libnm-gtk with extra/nm-connection-editor? [Y/n] y

:: ruby-gdkpixbuf2: requires ruby-glib2=2.2.4
[mike@mike-pc ~]$ sudo pacman -Sy ruby-glib2
:: Synchronising package databases...

:: ruby-gdkpixbuf2: requires ruby-glib2=2.2.4
:: ruby-pango: requires ruby-glib2=2.2.4
[mike@mike-pc ~]$
I can't seem to upgrade ruby-glib2 to the latest version, which seems to be required for the update! How can I fix this?

Fair enough, that's entirely possible! To that end, I tried the following:
[mike@mike-pc ~]$ sudo pacman -R ruby-gdkpixbuf2

So that's not brought me much further forward. Anything more I can try?
I had the same problem:
I had to reinstall ruby-gtk2 which fixed ruby-atk and ruby-pango.
Then I was able to upgrade normally.
pacman -S ruby-gtk2
pacman -Syu
