Thank you very much, Ramana & Szymon.

I had installed lightspark, but I have removed it by:
# pacman -Rsn lightspark

so command
# paclist pcr
gives nothing now.

I do not know, what is official and what un-official repository.
https://wiki.ParabolaGNULinux.org/Official_Repositories give me no
help about it.
I think libre, core, extra & multilib are official, aren't they?

Command
# paclist community | awk ' { print $1 } ' | pacman -Ql - | grep '
/s\?bin/\| /usr/sbin/'
returns nothing.

But update by
# pacman -Syu
gives the same error.

I do not understand it. Is multilib un-official?
