pacman -S gimp-devel tries to install gimpshop

I just enabled the unstable repo on my Arch64 box and tried to install gimp-devel.  It tried to remove gimp, as expected, but it then wanted to install gimpshop...not expected.

I also got the PKGBUILD from ABS and it looks fine.

Anyone else get this?

Re: pacman -S gimp-devel tries to install gimpshop

There was an error when gimp-devel was added to the repo (i686 doesn't have this problem). When the community repo is commented out, I get a
$ sudo pacman -S gimp-devel
error: 'gimp-devel': not found in sync db

It tries to install gimpshop because it has gimp-devel in the provides array. I'll fix it tomorrow.

Still getting the same problem with freshly synced repos.

It works here. What mirror are you using? Can you post your pacman.conf?

Pretty standard pacman.conf with extra, community, and unstable enabled.

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# NOTE: If you find a mirror that is geographically close to you, please
#       move it to the top of the server list, so pacman will choose it
#       first.
#
# To re-sort your mirror lists by ping/traceroute results, use the
# /usr/bin/sortmirrors script.  It requires the "netselect" package.
#

# See the pacman manpage for option directives

Re: pacman -S gimp-devel tries to install gimpshop

To enable the unstable repo, you also need to remove the # in front of [unstable] to have a section like this in pacman.conf

[unstable]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/unstable

After fixing your pacman.conf, run
# pacman -Sy gimp-devel
to get the unstable db and install gimp-devel.
