[arch-general] Local packages newer than ones from core?

[kendell clark]

Hi all
I just tried to update my internal system with #pacman -Syyu tonight and 
recieved the following warnings from pacman.
  warning: binutils: local (2.23-1) is newer than core (2.22-10)
warning: e2fsprogs: local (1.42.6-1) is newer than core (1.42.5-1)
warning: gcc: local (4.7.2-2) is newer than core (4.7.2-1)
warning: gcc-libs: local (4.7.2-2) is newer than core (4.7.2-1)

warning: glibc: local (2.16.0-5) is newer than core (2.16.0-4)

I don't mean to sound like a noob but I still am, smiles. I've never 
seen this warning message before and as far as I know this isn't 
possible, as I only pull packages from core, community, and multilib. I 
have built some local aur packages, espeak development version, dropbox, 
dropbox daemon, and mangler. THis could be the cause, although I'm not 
sure how to find out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. i'm 
beginning to really love arch, especially without pulseaudio.
One final note: I have the linux-lts package installed as opposed to the 
latest 3.6.x kernel, as speakup is broken in  kernels later tahn 3.4.
Thanks
