Hi,

downgrades happen from time to time.

From official repositories I manually downgraded

[2017-04-25 01:22] [ALPM] downgraded openimageio (1.7.13-1 -> 1.7.10-2)

today.

But I'm pissed off by this automatic downgrade

[2017-04-25 02:09] [ALPM] downgraded pulseaudio (2013.08.18-1 -> 10.0-3)

from an empty dummy package to the version from official repositories.

Just because the pulseaudio-bluetooth package has got the version
included to the dependency and I missed it within 260 upgrades.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ sudo pacman -U /var/cache/aur/current/pulseaudio-2013.08.18-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: pulseaudio-bluetooth: installing pulseaudio (2013.08.18-1) breaks dependency 'pulseaudio=10.0-3'

Fortunately I can safely remove this odd package, I don't ned anything
of this dependency chain. To avoid such an issue in the future, I'll
add all dummy packages (just pulseaudio and gvfs) to the ignore list.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pactree -r pulseaudio-bluetooth
pulseaudio-bluetooth
└─gnome-bluetooth
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pactree -r gnome-bluetooth
gnome-bluetooth
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ sudo pacman -Rs {pulseaudio,gnome}-bluetooth 
[snip]
Packages (3) bluez-5.44-1  gnome-bluetooth-3.20.1+1+ge902d1a-1  pulseaudio-bluetooth-10.0-3

Ralf
