As you can see, pacman is trying to upgrade (downgrade?!)  my KDE 4.14 to 4.12.
I saw the "updated" package here https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … eafd4a0fcc but I can't understand why was this "upgraded" to 4.12?

Any ideas?

Look closer, it's 14.12 not 4.12.  Haven't seen an explanation of why they went 14 instead of 5, but kde programs have been doing so as they convert to working with the new framework libs

Re: KDE upgrade from 4.14 to 4.12 (pacman is crazy!)

As you can see, pacman is trying to upgrade (downgrade?!)  my KDE 4.14 to 4.12.

it's not "4.12", but "14.12", so it's an upgrade, not a downgrade,

for me there are no problems,

but I don't have your output when I run "pacman -Syu"

you should note that pacman will ask you some questions ( like "do you want to replace packagex for extra/packagex ? [Y/n] " ), I get this ( in french ) :

It's not a downgrade. It's an upgrade to KDE Applications 14.12 , not 4.12.

You both are absolutely right. It's 14, not 4. But still, looks really weird.

14.12 = december 2014 release. It's the new versioning scheme for KDE Applications
