Two libdrm installed?

When doing a "tupac libdrm" this is what I see:

1 extra/libdrm 2.3.1-2 - This is the installed version
    Userspace interface to kernel DRM services
2 aur/libdrm 2.4.3-2 (6 votes) - Another version installed: 2.3.1-2
    Userspace interface to kernel DRM services

I don't know how to colorize this, but tupac highlights both of the "libdrm" for some reason, indicating that both of them are installed. This can't be, can it?

It can if someone uploaded a version of libdrm that they shouldn't have (which they did) that's designed to run parallel to the other.

Re: Two libdrm installed?

Should it be safe to remove one of them and then reinstall the other?

Re: Two libdrm installed?

Make sure that it's actually installed. This is the (edited) output on my machine with yaourt:

~ > yaourt -Ss libdrm
extra/libdrm 2.3.1-2 [installed] 
     Userspace interface to kernel DRM services
aur/libdrm 2.4.3-2 [2.3.1-2 installed] (6)
    Userspace interface to kernel DRM services

Does pacman by itself show two? It shouldn't. In fact, what I said before would require slightly different package names. So I'm wrong anyway.

Re: Two libdrm installed?

Both yaourt and tupac tells you that the version on aur is not the one you have installed.
It tells you 2.3.1-2 is installed, which is the version in extra.
It looks clear enough

Then a forum mod comes in and posts something completely untrue.  That really helps to clarify things.
