Details

If a package was installed in latest version, but then uninstalled, and the user wants to install it again, he will get following warning:

[root@lanrules fopref]# pacman -S imlib2-devel
:: imlib2-devel-1.2.1.007-1: is up to date. Upgrade anyway? [Y/n]
----
Although it is "up to date" it is not installed. So this message is misleading the user. If he proceeds, in this example, he gets informed about, that indeed action is taken more than just reinstall a already installed package:

Remove: imlib2

Targets: imlib2-devel-1.2.1.007-1

Total Package Size: 0.7 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]
This task depends upon

Hmm, I can't reproduce this.

Sorry, I had a newer version of patch. Here is the proper (and expected) output.


[root@mars jvinet]# pacman -S patch

I can't reproduce it either. perhaps it indeed was already installed with -d option.
