[arch-general] Who is confused, pacman or me?
Hi, I did a pacman -Syu this morning and it warned me that: local etracer-0.35-6 is newer than etracer-0.4-1 I'm not sure how that came about. Is this a pacman or pkgbuild problem? My system is i686. Regards, Neil Darlow

But, when you -Su, does it still want to install etracer 0.4 ? This versioning confuses pacman (and it isn't something that can be fixed), but we have the force options for these cases. And the force option was used for this package, as you can see there : http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/games/etracer/PKGBUILD?cvsroot=AUR&only_with_tag=CURRENT

It didn't want to update etracer. I had to manually update the package myself.

No forced update was done. Just a warning that the local version was newer was issued. Regards, Neil Darlow

well: vercmp 1 2 -1 vercmp 0.3 0.4 -1 vercmp 0.35 0.4 1 the problem is the comparison the new version should be 0.40 instead of 0.4 greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org tpowa@archlinux.org
