warning about newer packages when running pacman -Syu[SOLVED]

I get this warning about newer packages when trying to update system. I did an upgrade of consolekit and after that I can't update.

varning: consolekit: lokala (0.4.1-2) är nyare än extra (0.4.1-1)
varning: devicekit-power: lokala (013-1) är nyare än extra (012-2)
varning: gnome2-user-docs: lokala (2.28.2-1) är nyare än extra (2.28.1-1)
varning: hal: lokala (0.5.14-1) är nyare än extra (0.5.13-3)
varning: hal-info: lokala (0.20091130-1) är nyare än extra (0.20090716-2)
varning: libdrm: lokala (2.4.16-1) är nyare än extra (2.4.15-1)
varning: libxcb: lokala (1.5-1) är nyare än extra (1.4-1)
varning: xcb-proto: lokala (1.6-1) är nyare än extra (1.5-1)
What is this. Are there no updates. I found the consolekit package on a mirror but changing to that mirror in mirrorlist didn't upgrade it so I did it manually.

Re: warning about newer packages when running pacman -Syu[SOLVED]

Assuming your error message is translated to "is newer than"... switch to the up to date mirror and run pacman -Syy.  You always want to run -Syy when switching mirrors.

Re: warning about newer packages when running pacman -Syu[SOLVED]

Is it possible the mirror used by pacman has changed recently?  I'd double-check the mirror used, change if necessary, and try issuing 'pacman -Syyu'.

Re: warning about newer packages when running pacman -Syu[SOLVED]

I always run pacman -Syy after changing mirror. Haven't tried Syyu. Also changed mirror after consulting the mirrors most recently updated from the list in this forum.
OOPS! My mistake. Haven't seen this "mirror used during installation....." in mirrorlist. After commenting it out it's OK.
