Hi all I just tried to update my internal system with #pacman -Syyu tonight and recieved the following warnings from pacman. warning: binutils: local (2.23-1) is newer than core (2.22-10) warning: e2fsprogs: local (1.42.6-1) is newer than core (1.42.5-1) warning: gcc: local (4.7.2-2) is newer than core (4.7.2-1) warning: gcc-libs: local (4.7.2-2) is newer than core (4.7.2-1) warning: glib2: local (2.34.1-1) is newer than core (2.32.4-1) warning: glibc: local (2.16.0-5) is newer than core (2.16.0-4) warning: hwids: local (20121022-1) is newer than core (20121012-1) warning: iproute2: local (3.6.0-2) is newer than core (3.5.1-1) warning: iptables: local (1.4.16.2-1) is newer than core (1.4.15-1) warning: linux-api-headers: local (3.6.3-1) is newer than core (3.5.5-1) warning: perl: local (5.16.1-2) is newer than core (5.16.1-1) I don't mean to sound like a noob but I still am, smiles. I've never seen this warning message before and as far as I know this isn't possible, as I only pull packages from core, community, and multilib. I have built some local aur packages, espeak development version, dropbox, dropbox daemon, and mangler. THis could be the cause, although I'm not sure how to find out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. i'm beginning to really love arch, especially without pulseaudio. One final note: I have the linux-lts package installed as opposed to the latest 3.6.x kernel, as speakup is broken in kernels later tahn 3.4. Thanks Kendell clark
For some reason, seems that you have installed packages from [testing], that's why they show as newer than [core]. However, it also seems that after enabling [testing] and installing those packages you then disabled [testing] repository. $pacman -Syuu will downgrade those packages from [testing] to their [core] versions.
