warning: libtar: local (1.2.11-3) is newer than community (1.2.11-1)

I got the message in the title when doing a pacman -Syu just now.  I do one most days, but don't think I have seen this before.  According to pacman.log : [2007-12-15 10:12] upgraded libtar (1.2.11-2 -> 1.2.11-3).

Just a syncing problem?

Thanks

no, libtar was moved in unsupported in august and i moved it yesterday back in community because i needed to build backup support in osmo.
just do pacman -S libtar if you use it but now there is no package that depend of it in core/extra so you can safely remove it

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

You might want to try pacman -Qdt. From mac pacman:

-d, --deps
           Restrict or filter output to packages installed as dependencies.
           This option can be combined with -t for listing real orphans-
           packages that were installed as dependencies but are no longer
           required by any installed package. (-Qdt is equivalent to the
           pacman 3.0.X -Qe option.)
