[SOLVED] Pacman installing unwanted packages?
Yesterday I used -Syu to update system, and pacman came up with about a hundred packages, although I updated two days earlier. I was surprised but just thought that it's the arch update pace.
Today before I updated anything (I wanted the new xorg) I wrote -Syui and pacman again came up with tons of stuff, this time I checked it more carefully to discover that these are packages that are not on my system and that I don't need (webnotify? videoporama? verbiste?).
What's going on?

I have no idea what those packages are! Can you paste your actual output? Do you have any extra repos enabled?

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman installing unwanted packages?
The output of -Syui is more than 3000 lines from the community repo alone, I don't have any extra repos (only core, extra and community).
Maybe this command just do something else than I think? Will pacman ask for confirmation first if I type -Syu?

webnotify, videoporama, and verbiste are not available in any official Arch repo, but they are provided by the archlinuxfr repo. I'm guessing you have that enabled in pacman.conf.

I had archlinuxfr enabled previously, but disabled it before the second post, didn't help.

Thanks, I thought that -Syui will give me detailed info on packages that need upgrading. -Syu works fine, sorry for trouble.
