Can someone explain this to me: 1) Check available versions $ pacman -Si kdepim | grep Version Version : 3.5.9-2 Version : 3.5.9.20080501-0.1 Ok, which version is newest? $ vercmp '3.5.9-2' '3.5.9.20080501-0.1' -1 Hmmm $ vercmp usage: vercmp <ver1> <ver2> return values: < 0 : if ver1 < ver2 0 : if ver1 == ver2
0 : if ver1 > ver2
Ok, version 3.5.9.20080501-0.1 is newer, so try to install it: $ sudo pacman -S kdepim :: kdepim is in IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup. Install anyway?
