Together with imagemagick-6.7.2.1-1, calibre-0.8.18-2 was released to
the repos (the latter links to the former).

But by already having a "calibre-0.8.18-2" package installed on your
system (that you linked to an earlier imagemagick), you prevented the
upgrade calibre-0.8.18-1 ==> calibre-0.8.18-2 to happen. So pacman
thought your calibre was up-to-date when it was not.

If you want to maintain custom packages, do not give them the same name
as official packages, and be prepared for rebuilds.
