Can't upgrade tt-rss

There were several other updates that needed to be installed so I temporarily added tt-rss to the ignored packages in pacman.conf, installed the other updates and then tried to force install it, but no dice. I did update tt-rss via the built-in updater plugin. Is that the problem?

sudo pacman --force -S tt-rss

Re: Can't upgrade tt-rss

pacman -Qo /usr/share/webapps/tt-rss/{lock,feed-icons,cache}

Edit, yes, updating it manually via the plugin is what caused this problem. Move everything in those dirs to the corresponding dir in /var/lib/tt-rss/ then remove them.

Re: Can't upgrade tt-rss

umaxtu, instead of using '--force', please familiarize yourself with https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130138 , as Scimmia suggested.

Edit: When pasting configs, code or command output, please use [ code ] tags, not [ quote ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

1.9-1 is the latest version available https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=tt-rss
