Speaking unofficially(!) I would say the correct procedure would be to fix the packages, but bear in mind that Archie development is at present rather slow, and there seem to be other problems, too (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=27942). Maybe the best procedure, if you want to use Archie as a base, would be to help with Archie development. Of course, I don't want to deflect you from such a noble course of action, but there is also larch, which at present is possibly more usable.
