scribes 0.2.5-1 package installs older version of scribes!

Hi All,

I was having a problem getting scribes to open a ruby script, which I had posted earlier.

I contacted the author of scribes and he indicated that this was a scribes issue that was fixed in version 0.2.5.  I checked the version that was installed

[root@delos ~]# pacman -Q | grep scribes
scribes 0.2.5-1

which was not what I expected, since I was having troubles.  So, I check the version on the command line

[root@delos ~]# scribes -v
Scribes version 0.2.4

which has an issue (bug) with gnome mime types for executable scripts.  I checked to make sure that the executable was not from some locally installed version.

[root@delos ~]# which scribes
/usr/bin/scribes
[root@delos ~]# pacman -Qo /usr/bin/scribes
/usr/bin/scribes is owned by scribes 0.2.5-1

I also re-installed with the same result.

[root@delos ~]# pacman -R scribes
removing scribes... done.
[root@delos ~]# pacman -S scribes

Targets: scribes-0.2.5-1

Total Package Size:   0.4 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] Y

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts... done.
installing scribes... done.
[root@delos ~]# scribes -v
Scribes version 0.2.4

Is there someway that I could have messed up and still have the older scribes?

Ok, scribes is in community and I checked the URL for the source.  It is

http://www.openusability.org/download.p … 2.5.tar.gz

and when I download it the version I get is scribes-0.2.4.tar.gz  -- this is odd.  The URL on the scribes web page is

http://openusability.org/download.php/1 … 2.5.tar.gz

I am guessing that the URL needs updating.  I'll email the maintainer.

Well, willysilly doesn't have his email address in his profile.  Hopefully, he saw the post.  Thanks Kev
