pacman -S libgpod installed older version
I've been using arch for about a day now and really like it. I was a Fedora person but I got sick of waiting for them to release FC6 (should have been out on the 11th 
)
Today I ran across something wierd when I installed libgpod. When I ran 'pacman -S libgpod' it installed the version from testing, which is 0.3.2-4. There's a newer version in extra - 0.4.0-1. To install that I had to 'pacman -S extra/libgpod'. why didn't pacman install the newer version in the first place?

Re: pacman -S libgpod installed older version
Well hot damn, this looks like sloppiness on my part again... libgpod 0.4 should have gone to testing. I had upgraded it for gtkpod.
The reason an older version installed first is that pacman uses the first package found in order, and you have testing first. Thus, it uses the testing package.
I need to learn not to upgrade like 20 packages while working on pacman, heh.
I will revert the changes to libgpod when I get home, putting 0.4.0 in testing and 0.3.2-3 back in extra, as libgpod depends on dbus from testing.

Re: pacman -S libgpod installed older version
FWIW, even after removing amarok entirely, changing mirrors (for some reason my main mirror didn't know about libgpod at all), and doing a pacman -Scc, I still get 0.4.0, and it's still corrupted (not sure if it is, but it breaks my ipod). I had to build 0.3.2 and install it manually. Come to think of it, after running abs, the most recent PKGBUILD is for 0.4.0.
Or is 0.4.0 supposed to be in current now? Either way, it breaks my ipod - the songs get loaded, but the database is entirely corrupted. Downgrading to 0.3.2 fixed everything.
