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

But, when you -Su, does it still want to install etracer 0.4 ?

It didn't want to update etracer. I had to manually update the package myself.

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

No forced update was done. Just a warning that the local version was newer was issued. Regards, Neil Darlow
