Looks like we need some debug work on the date stuff in pacman: $ pacQi xtrans Name : xtrans ... Build Date : Wed Dec 31 17:59:59 1969 Install Date : Wed Dec 31 17:59:59 1969 ... Clearly I didn't install this package way back then. :) I actually see how to fix this right now, but it is nice to give a heads up. -Dan
