Summary and Info:

In the output of `pacman -Qi`, the "Optional Deps" line marks optional
dependencies as [installed] even if the version does not match.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Build a dummy package that depends on a bogus version of something
that is installed, e.g.

pkgname=dummypkg
pkgver=0.1
pkgrel=1
arch=(any)
optdepends=('coreutils=1.1')

2. Install the package and check the output of `pacman -Qi`, e.g.:

Name: dummypkg
...
Optional Deps: coreutils=1.1 [installed]
...

Interestingly, `pacman -Qi` correctly shows that coreutils is not
optionally required by this dummypkg (it does show it if the version
matches), and pacman also does not mark coreutils=1.1 as [installed]
during the installation; it seems to be uniquely the `pacman -Qi`
output.
This task depends upon
