pacman upgrade

I just installed Arch and I come from a Debian background. When I decided to update my system (that is upgrade to newer versions) It gives me a bunch of warnings that says that I have newer versions of the software that is in the repository. Am I pointing to the wrong version? (i.e stable, testing, and unstable in Debian)

Re: pacman upgrade

Maybe you are using a quite updated mirror server. You might check the accessed server. It's the first one on the list, the lists can are located in /etc/pacman.d/, called just like the repositories: current, testing, unstable, community, extra.

Re: pacman upgrade

there are also some issues with pacman and the way it deals with pkg versions. if u could post the mesages u are getting and your /etc/pacman.conf , it would help more to know what u are talking about. "pointing at the wrong version" is rarely the case, at least from my experience
