[SOLVED] couchdb: local (1.5.1-1) is newer than community (1.5.0-2)

While upgrading my system the other day, I received the following warning:

# pacman -Syu
[..snip..]
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: couchdb: local (1.5.1-1) is newer than community (1.5.0-2)warning: couchdb: local (1.5.1-1) is newer than community (1.5.0-2)
[..snip..]

Checking couchdb version in the repos, i get:

$ pacman -Si couchdb
Repository     : community
Name           : couchdb
Version        : 1.5.0-2
[..snip..]

Trying to force refresh the package databases by running

# pacman -Syyu

doesn't resolve the warning.

My (very short) installation/upgrade history for couchdb is:

$ grep couchdb /var/log/pacman.log 
[2014-02-27 21:17] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -S couchdb'
[2014-02-27 21:17] [PACMAN] installed couchdb (1.5.0-1)
[2014-04-10 13:05] [PACMAN] upgraded couchdb (1.5.0-1 -> 1.5.1-1)

I'm using the following Arch Linux mirror:

$ grep '^[^#]' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist 
Server = http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch

From https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit … es/couchdb I can tell that there is a version 1.5.1-1 but I presume it is still in [community-testing].

AFAICT I've never installed CouchDB from the AUR or from [community-testing] or some such, so my question is: How can my locally installed version of it be newer than that from [community]?

The only version available in any official repo is couchdb 1.5.0-2 and I don't see it in any unofficial repo at all.

It looks like Sergej, the package maintainer, forgot to update repository database.

Ah, thanks for the info. For now, I've reinstalled (i.e. downgraded) couchdb, to be in sync with the repos.
Marking as solved.
