paclist produces incomplete listing compared to pacman (Solved)

Hi,

pacman -Ss converseen
community/converseen 0.9.5.2-1 [installed: 0.9.5.1-1]

$paclist community |grep converseen

pacman shows coverseen but paclist does not list it.

pacman is pacman-5.0.1-4

A bug?

Re: paclist produces incomplete listing compared to pacman (Solved)

Works fine here.  What does the following return:

pacman -Sl community | awk -v i="[installed]" '$NF == i { print $2,$3 }' | grep converseen

Assuming you have an English locale, this is exactly what paclist does (paclist is a very short shell script).

EDIT: oops, nevermind the above - look at your -Ss output.  It does not show the current version installed, that's why.  Update your system.  Paclist shows what in the given repo is installed - you do not have the version from the repo installed.  I think the only way you can get such output is if you've been doing partial upgrades or have installed an older version form the AUR.  Note that partial upgrades are not supported: they *will* break your system eventually.
