Description:
I am using LXC, which was just updated from 0.8.0-rc2, to 0.8.0. Pacman however thinks that I have a newer version installed. Is this a known bug?

Additional info:
Message from pacman: warning: downgrading package lxc (0.8.0_rc2-1 => 0.8.0-1)

man vercmp - this is expected version comparison outcome

The packager needs to fix this.

The manpage says '1.0rc < 1.0', but pacman says ' 0.8.0-rc2 > 0.8.0'; so this bug is caused by the fact that 0.8.0_rc2 should have been called 0.8.0rc2; right?

right.
