klibc always needs to be updated
When I run pacman -Syu I get the following:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
:: current is up to date
:: extra is up to date
:: unstable is up to date
:: community is up to date
Targets: klibc-1.4.30-1
Total Package Size: 2.1 MB
Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]I've gone through the upgrade probably 5 or 6 times. Everything seems to work, but then every time I re-run pacman -Syu I get the above.
In short:
[taylor][~]$ pacman -Qi klibc | grep Version
Version : 1.4.30-1
[taylor][~]$ pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
:: current is up to date
:: extra is up to date
:: unstable is up to date
:: community is up to date
Targets: klibc-1.4.30-1
Total Package Size: 2.1 MB
Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] Any idea what's going on here?

Re: klibc always needs to be updated
Are you using one of those goofy cage scripts? If you do upgrade it and pacman is telling you otherwise, it's because the DB entries have not been written properly.

Re: klibc always needs to be updated
No cage scripts. I just use base pacman.
If the DB is messed up, is there a way to manually fix it?

Re: klibc always needs to be updated
Ummm, well I would try to remove the klibc entry in the db (/var/lib/pacman/testing/klibc-1.4.30, I'd guess) and reinstall klibc.

Re: klibc always needs to be updated
From your tip I figured out what happened.
In my /var/lib/pacman/current I had two entries for klibc.
klibc-1.4-2/
and
klibc-1.4.30-2/
I have no idea how the first directory got there, but I deleted it and all is well. I guess pacman was seeing that first directory and flagging klibc as being out of date, even though the installed package was still the newest.
Thank you very much for your help.
