xorg-server-1.1.1.3 always in the update list

Whenever I do a pacman -Suy  xorg-server-1.1.1.3  is always in the list of the packages to be updated. After the update is applied succesfully, and I do a pacman -Suy it's there again:

> pacman -Suy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
:: current is up to date
:: extra is up to date

Targets: xorg-server-1.1.1-3

Total Package Size:   7.3 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] y

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts... done.
upgrading xorg-server... done.

> pacman -Suy

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Looks like pacman can't update the files/directories in your /var/lib/pacman/local/ repository.
My guess would be filesystem corruption, where it can't remove the old xorg-server-1.1.1-2 directory.

Strange. I removed the old xorg-xserver-1.0 directory by hand (withoyt problems). Now xorg-server doesn't appear on the update list anymore. So I guess that solved it.

It's not on the update list anymore because by deleting the directory pacman now has no way of knowing that package exists on your system, so you better do 'pacman -Sf xorg-server' again.

Well when I did that it told me:

:: xorg-server-1.1.1-3: is up to date.  Upgrade anyway? [Y/n]

So it must know it exists, right?

Oh wait, did you really delete 'xorg-xserver'? Ok then, dunno where that'd come from.
