Pacman 3 and IgnorePkg

I have several packages listed in pacman.conf with IgnorePkg because I roll my own kernel and I don't like kernel related stuff upgraded until I have understood what will change.  This prevents accidents, if you know what I mean.  Anyway, since my upgrade to Pacman 3, pacman reports on a 'pacman -Syu' the following:

$ sudo pacman -Syu

warning: nvidia-utils-1.0.9755-1: ignoring package upgrade (1.0.9755-1)
warning: udev-110-3: ignoring package upgrade (110-3)

When there was no upgrade with pacman 2, there was no output.  Here, a warning is displayed even though there is no newer version of an ignored package available.  Why is there now a warning on those packages even though there is no upgrade available?  I am actually thinking this is a bug, but wanted to ask first if it is intended.

Re: Pacman 3 and IgnorePkg

Hmm, interesting. Can you guys file a bug report so we actually see this kind of stuff? Forums are not the best place for bug reports as we don't always check them.

Re: Pacman 3 and IgnorePkg

Huh, I'm sorry about that, I thought this was an isolated issue.  It looks more widespread.

Either way, at least it's only a cosmetic bug.

I have a feeling it's related to this:

Okay, good.  I'm glad it isn't me and it looks like a bug.  I won't give it a worry, it seems you guys are on it.

Re: Pacman 3 and IgnorePkg

You don't.  It's just cosmetic, so I think we just wait for it to be addressed by the pacman developers.

Re: Pacman 3 and IgnorePkg

I has been addressed...  I submitted a bug report a while back.  Apparently fixed in pacman v3.1.

Yes, it was my mistake, I fixed it as soon as I saw the bug report, and my patch was merged. That was quite a while ago, I didn't even realize it was only fixed in pacman 3.1

The only bug report I saw is 7111 reported by dolby though, you also reported another one?
