Kernel version message

Hi - Just a quick query really: - a couple of days ago:

# pacman -Syu

pulled in kernel26-2.6.11.7-1 , no problems, updated nicely, everything's fine - however today -Syu brings me:

:: kernel26: local version (2.6.11.7-1) is newer than repo version (2.6.11.3-1)
:: Above packages will be skipped.  To manually upgrade use 'pacman -S <pkg>'

Any particular reason why this shows up?

Thanks.

Re: Kernel version message

Probably because you use another (less up to date) mirror. Either you changed it manually or the previous used one was down temporary, or something like that.
