Is it possible to configure pacman to completely ignore a set of packages from a specific repository?

What do you mean? Ignore it from one repo but accept it from another?

Yes, e.g., package foo is in [repoA] and [repoB], I want pacman to *never* consider foo in [repoB] for installation. /M -- Magnus Therning                      OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org   jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe               http://therning.org/magnus

put a over b in pacman conf and it will always install from a and if it cant be found it will move to b. Ignorepkg repob/package might work too

The problem with that is that the package from b *will be considered*, and it'll actually be be chosen in some cases. Is there a way to make sure pacman *never* considers the package from b? /M -- Magnus Therning                      OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org   jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe               http://therning.org/magnus

No this is not possible. I guess for strange-non-supported pacman cases you should do this manually -- Angel Velásquez angvp @ irc.freenode.net Arch Linux Developer / Trusted User Linux Counter: #359909 http://www.angvp.com
