gsfonts: local (8.11-5) is newer than extra (1.0.7pre44-1) [solved]

If you are getting the following error on pacman -Syu

warning: gsfonts: local (8.11-5) is newer than extra (1.0.7pre44-1)

Then just do a simple

pacman -S gsfonts

and the newer package will be installed!

This is a consequence of an upstream change in version naming.

Hope this helps,

Fabio Varesano

Most would probably have gsfonts installed as a dependency, so should do

pacman -S --asdeps gsfonts

instead.

Just reinstall the package with pacman -S --asdeps.

man pacman is your friend
