[SOLVED] Newer version not newer

Hello,

I got that warning will updating my arch linux install:

     avertissement : libresprite : la version locale (1:1.1+dev-2) est plus récente que extra (1.2-2)

With LC_ALL:

     warning: libresprite: local (1:1.1+dev-2) is newer than extra (1.2-2)

But it doesn't seem to me that the local 1:1.1+dev-2 is newer to 1.2-2.
Also, `1:1.1+dev-2` looks like an AUR package version.

So my guess is that pacman has a bug with "versions" of package that integrate extra from the AUR.

Am I right ?
Should I report it ?

That 1: is an epoch, it will always be newer than no epoch. That's the entire point of epoch.

And no, this is not a bug unless the first version came from the repos. AUR doesn't count.

Clear enough and actually coherent with how AUR packages integrate with arch repos, they don't .

Thank you.
