[INVALID] A package blocks my upgrades

The package `pandoc-static` is blocked by requiring an old `icu` package, and this makes me unable to upgrade my system.

$ pacaur --ignore pandoc-static -Syyu

Adding `pandoc-static` to `pacman.conf` under `IgnorePkg` gives the same results.

How can I ignore `pandoc-static` and upgrade the rest of my system?

You are responsible for unsupported packages, not pacman.

Not a Pacman issue, moving to AUR Issues...

Doh! I just figured that since I got the error before the message `Upgrading from AUR` that I had it installed from the supported repos.
Running pacman works without any errors (there are just no packages to upgrade..)
Closing this as invalid.
