I've successfully upgraded to xorg7 in [testing] however,
when I run a pacman -Syu I get this:
xcompmgr requires xorg, but it is in IgnorePkg. Install anyway? [Y/n] n error: cannot resolve dependencies for "xcompmgr" (I've put xorg in IgnorePkg because of it, but that obviously didn't help) It seems to be, for whatever reason, pulling the dependancies from xcompmgr 1.1.1-1 instead of 1.1.1-2, even though I have 1.1.1-2 installed from [testing] This only happens I have [testing] defined _after_ [current] in pacman.conf, but it doesn't happen for any package except xcompmgr. I get alot of messages about "installed version of package X is newer than in repo" which I expect, since I've installed alot from testing... shouldn't I get this message for xcompmgr too instead of it trying to re-install 1.1.1-1? # pacman -Qi xcompmgr Name : xcompmgr Version : 1.1.1-2 Depends On : libxcomposite libxdamage libxrender # pacman -Si xcompmgr Repository : current Name : xcompmgr Version : 1.1.1-1 Groups : None Provides : None Depends On : xorg>=6.8.0 Conflicts With : xapps Replaces : xapps Size (compressed) : 17103 Description : Composite Window-effects manager for X.org MD5 Sum : f29a4a5f4c11d09b3b5d8defcd234c4e Repository : testing Name : xcompmgr Version : 1.1.1-2 Groups : None Provides : None Depends On : libxcomposite libxdamage libxrender Conflicts With : xapps Replaces : xapps Size (compressed) : 15338 Description : Composite Window-effects manager for X.org MD5 Sum : 07b3a42916cf3f7842a7fba9f5cbc4ee |

Reason for closing: Not a bug
:: pkg: local (x.x.x) appears to be newer than repo (current/x.x.x)
(( repeats lots of times for all the packages I've installed from [testing] except message does NOT appear for xcompmgr ))
:: xorg conflicts with ttf-bitstream-vera. Remove ttf-bitstream-vera? [Y/n] y
Remove: ttf-bitstream-vera
Targets: xorg-11R6.8.2-6 xcompmgr-1.1.1-1
For some reason, it doesn't realize xcompmgr-1.1.1-2 is newer than xcompmgr-1.1.1-1
Anywho, all I'm wondering is why pacman doesn't ignore xcompmgr and print a warning like it does every other package where I've installed a newer version than exists in current... this also happens if I disable testing now (ie. comment it out in pacman.conf) after having installed these apps from it.
No big deal anyway; after tinkering with xcompmgr I found it really doesn't like proprietary ATI drivers, so it's gone now. :P Thanks for your time.
