fluxbox, cannot force upgrade [solved]
it just ignores the new package completely, like it's not even there.

Re: fluxbox, cannot force upgrade [solved]
What output do you recieve
I mean, I can't upgrade fluxbox with pacman. Pacman doesn't even see it, even if I do:
pacman -Syu --force
or
pacman -S fluxbox --force
Therefore, there isn't any output. It just doesn't work. And of course, no, it's not already updated.

The fluxbox package probably hasn't hit your mirror yet.

Re: fluxbox, cannot force upgrade [solved]
Why are you trying to force it? pacman -Sy fluxbox doesn't give you anything?
I think you need to have the --force -f option before the package name but thats only if you get files exists in filesystem errors.
pacman -Syf fluxbox.

Oh, okay. All the other times updates were listed, they were available immediately. Now I know, eh, sometimes gotta be patient. LOL. :oops:

Cool. I'll keep that in mind.
