Yes, if the upgrade should do it automatically. However, assuming the OP just want's to downgrade, there's no need to remove with "-Rdd" first and the force option I mentioned is completely irrelevant, a simple "-S" should do the job. The OP should explain why a removal is wanted.

Yes, if the upgrade should do it automatically.
That is the implication if ArchLinux ARM published a package update and then "reverted" it. -- Eli Schwartz

True. The package release "-3.1" is unusual, too [1]. FWIW the OP could run # pacman -Syyuu to automatically downgrade by an upgrade [2].

hi Damjan i completely misunderstood the message, i thought i had had the earlier version, i also thought when it came to the packages versions arch and archlinux arm were the same, will remember this for future reference. thanks shadrock

sorry my question should be about downgrading not removing, should i leave the version as it is or should i downgrade, nothing seems to be broken but not sure if it will cause problems in the future or with other software. shadrock

How should we know? Neither 13.0.0rc2-2, nor 12.0.3-3.1 are the current versions provided by official Arch repositories. [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Si mesa{,-libgl} | grep Ve Version : 13.0.0-1 Version : 13.0.0-1 "Currently we have official packages optimized for the i686 and x86-64 architectures." - https://www.archlinux.org/ Regards, Ralf

Why do you want to remove it first? What kind of dependency issues? pacman -S --force <packagename> or pacman -Rdd <packagename> && pacman -S <packagename> might do what you need. But since your request isn't clear, it's hard to say what you need to do. Regards, Ralf
