[SOLVED] Pacman not aware of already installed dependency

Hello.
I've compiled and installed some packages manually with my own PKGBUILD through pacman. But now i'm trying to install a package from the AUR and there is some dependencies that pacman seems to not find, for example bash. What should I do in this situation? I don't want to replace a lot of packages already installed to those of the AUR.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Output of query line for bash:

# pacman -Qs bash
local/bash 5.0-1
      The bash package contains the Bourne-Again Shell.

Output of pacman -S:

# pacman -S libgpg-error

Packages (5) bash-5.1.012-1  gcc-libs-11.1.0-1  ncurses-6.3.-1  readline-8.1.001-1  libgpg-error-1.43-1

All those packages above (except libgpg-error) was installed the same way I did with bash.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman not aware of already installed dependency

pacman wants to update bash as your installed version is older than the repo version. This will only happen if you at some point have run:

 pacman -Sy 

Or you performed a system update that did not finish for some reason. Both cases will result in partial updates which are unsupported. Do a complete system update then try again.

Edit: seth posted the same answer while I was typing.

Could it has happened because the database "registration" isn't at core/?.

That!
As for the updated package version, it most likely got pulled in by a version constraint if you did not run pacman -Sy.

Re: [SOLVED] Pacman not aware of already installed dependency

I didn't thought that it was because my version was outdated. Well, probably I'll just update everything.

Thanks for helping me!
