[SOLVED] Fix version mismatch for aur package

Hello,

I had updated a AUR package (miniconda3) directly to 23.5.2 via conda update, now yay thinks it's outdated. Update via yay is failing as the files for new version already exist. I would like to update the pkg version in yay db without uninstalling.

fsh ❯ conda --version
conda 23.5.2

fsh ❯ yay miniconda3
1 aur/miniconda3 23.5.2-1 (+42 1.24) (Installed: 23.3.1-1)
    Mini version of Anaconda Python distribution

What version mismatch? Both commands report the same version.

No idea why there are conflicting files, but uninstalling and reinstalling it should work.

Note: This should be moved to AUR Issues.

Afaiu the yay output, 23.5.2-1 is available, but 23.3.1-1 is installed.

Yeah, that was a stupid idea…

No, you'd like to update it in the pacman db, and the tool of choice is pacman, not some notoriously stuff-breaking wrapper.

Fixed with uinstall/reinstall.
