gnumeric build and its libs

Hello,

I build a new version of gnumeric using a slightly changed PKGBUILD from ABS. I hat to rebuild three libraries for that reason: goffice, libgda and libgnomedbdb with recent Versions.

Everything went well, but now a pacman -Suy trys to force me to install the old versions libgda-1.2.4-1  libgnomedb-1.2.2-6 .

I have libgda 3.1.1-1 libgnomedb 3.1.1-1. Why does pacman think, these are older than  libgda-1.2.4-1  libgnomedb-1.2.2-6 ?

My PKGBUILD for gnumeric:

Re: gnumeric build and its libs

Tracking development versions of programs can be troublesome sometimes. Maybe Aaron Griffin should have stayed with gnumeric 1.6.x and waited for 1.8 instead of updating to 1.7.11

Re: gnumeric build and its libs

Well, my built of gnumeric 1.7.12 works. My question was merely in pacman's direction. Why does pacman think, 3.1.1.1 is older than 1.2.4 or 1.2.2.6?

But I learned yesterday from another thread somewhere that pacman.conf has a command IgnorePkg, so I put libgda and libgnomedb there, so I don't have a problem.
