Re: [arch-general] Modify installed package version

Alternatively can I rename the package directory inside /var/lib/pacman/local/ and %VERSION% string inside the desc file to achieve the same?

Sure you can. But what exactly are you trying to achieve? Avoid upgrading a specific package? The IgnorePkg option of pacman.conf can make that happen in a much more robust way. -- Gaetan
