Re: [arch-general] Who is confused, pacman or me?

Hi,

I did a pacman -Syu this morning and it warned me that:

local etracer-0.35-6 is newer than etracer-0.4-1

I'm not sure how that came about. Is this a pacman or pkgbuild problem?

My system is i686.

But, when you -Su, does it still want to install etracer 0.4 ? This versioning confuses pacman (and it isn't something that can be fixed), but we have the force options for these cases. And the force option was used for this package, as you can see there : http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/games/etracer/PKGBUILD?cvsroot=AUR&only_with_tag=CURRENT
