Summary and Info:
It is possible to block a package to be updated, but it would be great to block only a specific version of the package.
That would allow to downgrade a package and ban that version, so next update pacman would jump the banned version to directly go to the next one.

This is following a reddit thread here : https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/2hqkf1/ban_a_package_version/
