hi.... for a while now, pacman -Syu never works.... it always gives the following
[root@HPMachine danny]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronising package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
there is nothing to do
[root@HPMachine danny]#
but then when i do pacman -Syyu it finds programs that need upgrading.... this is all true even if i leave it over a month before I run -Syu.
any ideas? not massive problem, just annoying. Thanks

Could it also be a system clock issue? I'm just brainstorming and don't really know - but pacman checks whether the mirror's package database is "newer" than the local one, right? I suspect either mirror or local clock errors might lead to this.
Edit: thanks for the clarification below (no point in bumping the thread for this).
