Details

When I execute pacman -Syu, pacman wants to "upgrade" the installed wpa_supplicant 0.5.1-35 (my own package)to the version in current, wpa_supplicant 0.4.7-2. I've attached the PKGBUILD of my wpa_supplicant so you can see I'm not doing anything weird there.

You can work around this by stating IgnorePkg=wpa_supplicant in pacman.conf, but this is obviously not the real solution.

Running pacman with verbose flag does not result in any additional information.

I forgot to mention: this is Arch Linux 0.7.1 on i386 Linux using pacman version 2.9.8-1

This is because we have a "force" flag on the current wpa_supplicant PKGBUILD. I accidentally upgraded it to the development branch and so had to force a downgrade back to the stable branch.

This flag will disappear next time I upgrade wpa_supplicant.
