Am in need of installing Mega desktop app, while doing so, am getting dependency errors. So tried updating the pacman using pacman -Syu. Still facing many dependency issues. Is there a issue with my mirrorlist or any steps need to be followed for resolving this dependencies. Please help me in resolving this issue.
Please post full error description, as text.

If it doesn't work, or anyway you want, you could consider restoring a snapshot created before this problem appeared.

This is in the community repo, so how have you configured your repositories in pacman.conf?
If you enable testing then you need to enable community-testing and multilib-testing too, otherwise you will end up with a partial upgrade.
