Sorry for the confusing title, but not really sure of a better way to phrase it.
On occasion I have had reason to ignore an upgrade, the most recent being glibc, and so I'd added it to ignore upgrades. Once the upgrade was fixed I simply commented out the ignore. i.e.
IgnorePkg = #glibc
which has always been enough to prevent ignoring the package.
Tonight, glibc had an update, and pacman ignored it even though pacman.conf was as above. removing "#glibc" altogether allowed the update.
Is this a bug, or a deliberate change of behaviour?

What's with the hash sign??

It should prevent everything after it being read.

I'd assume you need to comment out the entire line and not just a value after the line no?

Comments are only supported by beginning a line with the hash (#) symbol. Comments cannot begin in the middle of a line.

Wow. Thank you. Weird it always seemed to have worked with a partial comment before. Perhaps it was a bug that's now fixed.
Marking as solved.
