I have been unsuccessfully trying to prevent a package from being upgraded when I type pacman -Syu. I read the man and it appears that I need to use --ignore but I cant seem to get the syntax right.
[root@archvile pkg]# pacman -U --ignore wine-1.3.4-1-x86_64
error: no targets specified (use -h for help)
[root@archvile pkg]# pacman --ignore wine 1.3.4-1
error: no operation specified (use -h for help)
[root@archvile pkg]# pacman --ignore 'wine 1.3.4-1'
error: no operation specified (use -h for help)
[root@archvile pkg]# pacman -ignore 'wine 1.3.4-1'
error: problem setting rootdir 'e' (could not find or read directory)
[root@archvile pkg]# pacman -i 'wine 1.3.4-1'
error: no operation specified (use -h for help)
[root@archvile pkg]# pacman -i wine 1.3.4-1
error: no operation specified (use -h for help)
[root@archvile pkg]# pacman -ignore wine-1.3.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
error: problem setting rootdir 'e' (could not find or read directory)
[root@archvile pkg]# pacman -D --ignore wine-1.3.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
error: no targets specified (use -h for help)
Although I am a noob with Arch I've been getting along fine for the most part, I am probably missing something really obvious here.

What happens if you include the -Syu flags in the same command line with the --ignore ?
pacman -Syu --ignore wine

Aha! That was it.
Thanks to Jason also, I will use that method if I decide I want to keep it longer term.
