have you installed anything from the AUR? Sometimes they install packages of their own as deps which is +1 to the local revision (local (0.7.45-6) is newer than community (0.7.45-5)) to make sure the one you installed from the AUR gets installed, instead of the pre-built package (may have different sources, configuration options, etc.)

Also, if something you installed from the AUR needs something that is actually newer than what is in the repos, it will bump the installed package version higher than what is available in the repos. Pacman is just informing you that this package is in fact installed, but is newer than the latest available repo package.

It won't let you upgrade because what you have installed is actually higher version numbers than what pacman can do for you.

Just think of it as pacman saying "Just thought you might want to know..."

[edit]

Just looked for some of those things in the AUR, and well, at least avifile doesn't have an AUR pkgbuild anywhere... have you been using the [testing] repo and recently disabled it? or changed mirrors for the mainline repos?

When did you run pacman -Syu the last time?

Have you changed your mirror- or repo-settings since then (activated and deactivated testing)?

What do you get for pacman -Si <concerned packages> ?

ok but will it still let me upgrade other packages?

ps last time i ran pacman -Syu was 2 min ago

@swayne don't be worried. mirrors are badly out of sync so if first you had use an up to date mirror and second time a badly out of sync then you had this behavior.

place on the first line in mirrorlist thins mirror: http://mirror.giantix-server.de/archlinux/ and you are done.

thanks wonder that mirror gave me about 1 gig of stuff to upgrade on have you tested other mirrors to see which are most up to date or is that one just your personal preference
