Details

Packages which use letters in their version numbers confuse pacman. I have found 2, but I think there are more:
blender 2.42a-1, proftpd 1.3.0a-1.
For example, the message for proftpd is:
:: proftpd: local (1.3.0-3) appears to be newer than repo (current/1.3.0a-1)
but 1.3.0a is the latest version (the previous one, 1.3.0-3).

I guess several PKGBUILDs need to be corrected.
This task depends upon
