[solved] pacman not upgrdading amarok

jithin1987 · 2010-01-12 04:17:53

Hi there,
I have amarok (2.2.1.90-1) installed from testing and version in extra is amarok (2.2.2-1). But its not getting upgraded. I am wondering why

Then I manaually installed extra/amarok and it did upgrade. But now when I try to upgrade using pacman -Syu pacman is giving warning

warning: amarok: local (2.2.2-1) is newer than testing (2.2.1.90-1)

Only pacman is giving this warning, yaourt is not.

Have you tried changing mirrors?

My mirror has the package.

pacman -Sy amarok

I think pacman is considering 2.2.1.90-1 latest than amarok-2.2.2-1

I think what annon is saying is that your current mirror is out of sync and you should change it. There's a list of mirrors on the wiki somewhere that tells you if they are in sync or not.

That being said, I've got the same problem with the KDE-mod mirrors and changing them doesn't seem to do any good. I'm still running the old Amarok, too. I'm gonna have to ask them about that.

My amarok is not kde mod one. Anyways now the mirror is fixed the amarok 2.2.1.90-1 is removed from testing now.
But still I think pacman should not think 2.2.1.90-1 latest than 2.2.2-1

It might take a couple of days.

It does not assume that. The repo at the top of your pacman.conf takes priority.

Ok Thanks Allan now I got it. testing is at top.
But if repo at top has version 2.x.x and bottom one has 3.x.x will it still takes 2.x.x because that repo is at top? I dont think that is right? Even if multiple packages are present should not the one with highest version get installed. I dont know much about arch package version policies.

pacman will take the version in the repo at the top. In Arch, this is always a newer version, unless (as appears to have happened here) the mirror for the top repo is out-of-date.

Edit: this stops weird things happening... e.g. you put a repo at the bottom of your pacman.conf and they later decide to provide a package kernel26-9999-1 so you upgrade to that. You have your most trusted repos at the top. (in fact, do not put untrusted repos in there at all... but you get the point).
