Pacman finds repo and kdemod-* packages, but not kdemod itself?!

Hi everyone! I couldn't find anyone with the same weird problem I have..
I've done what was advised in http://www.archlinux.org/news/411/
Due to a limitation in pacman's conflict checking and symbolic link resolution, the upgrade to klibc-1.5.14-1 requires manual removal of a symbolic link befole updating. Please run the command "rm /usr/lib/klibc/include/asm" as root to remove the symbolic link that will otherwise cause a few hundred false file conflicts.
then, as root:
Pacman -Suy,
Pacman -Syy
everything updated nicely, all repositories found and synced.
then..
# pacman -S kdemod
kdemod package not found, searching for group...
(huge list of kdemod* programs)
install whole content? [Y/n]
..the whole content being over 1gb of mostly unnecessary kde-related programs so that couldn't be it.
This is a fresh arch64 install, I haven't made any weird custom configurations. I've followed the kdemod site instructions and arch wiki faithfully, adding the x86_64 core repository to pacman.conf. Triple checked for typos.
Pacman finds and installs nvidia, xorg and openbox without problems
With kdemod3, kde, gnome and xfce4 it's the exact same behaviour as with kdemod.
I don't understand why since "pacman -Sy" finds all necessary repos perfectly and even the individual bits for kdemod..
..halp!

Ok I just retried that, xorg was actually not a package but a group just like you said - it was the first thing I installed so I didn't pay attention (d'oh).
I'm writing this from another pc next to my laptop so I won't type in my whole pacman.conf.
It's unchanged apart from adding:
[kdemod-core]
Server = http://mirror.rit.edu/kdemod/core/x86_64
I've tried the other kdemod repositories as well so that can't be the problem, the [community] which kdemod needs is working too
this is the output from pacman -S kdemod:
kdemod package not found, searching for group...
:: group kdemod (including ignored packages):
     kdemod-arxin  kdemod-kde-common  kdemod-kdeartwork-desktopthemes  kdemod-kdeartwork-emoticons
     ...etc etc etc... a full screen of kdemod-something..
     kdemod-kdeutils-kgrubeditor  kdemod-powerdevil   kdemod-shaman   qtmod
:: install whole content? [Y/n]
hmm.. this is weird, I just handpicked
kdemod-kdebase
kdemod-kdebase-runtime
kdemod-kdebase-runtime-icons
kdemod-kdebase-workspace
to be installed and it says the installed size would be 750mb - even more than a complete kdemod install?!
