Guys,
How are packages coordinated between core, extra, community and archlinuxfr? I ask because there seems to be a lag in some of the package on archlinuxfr. I understand that archlinuxfr isn't "official", but there still needs to be some coordination when major updates like gcc take place. Of interest specifically:
:: Starting full system upgrade... warning: gcc-gcj: local (4.5.2-1) is newer than archlinuxfr (4.5.1-1) warning: pdftk: local (1.44-2) is newer than archlinuxfr (1.41-5)
it looks like you have archlinuxfr set to a higher priority than [core]/etc? don't do that :-) you want it last, so you can get things it has that the official repos do not. now, if your using it to get newer/alternate versions of existing packages ... then you'll just sorta have to deal with it for the reason Allan stated. it shouldn't really matter though ... why did you have to uninstall anything? i've done this before IIRC; just let pacman whine about it, and let it go about it's business upgrading the system.
