Reason for closing: Not a bug
Additional comments about closing: The force option is present in both 6.12.x and 6.13.x to make sure upgrades are done to the repository versions instead of the older git snapshot packages. Disabling testing after installing packages from it means pacman will downgrade forced packages, but if you install things this way, it's up to you to handle it.
