Details

If more than one repositories provide package with different versions, pacman use by default first repository in pacman.conf. This not good for local repository (from dvd for example): mirrors got new packages, but pacman ignore them, because use dvd-repository. If dvd-repository will be placed after mirrors, when ALL packages will be downloaded from network ignoring dvd. May be pacman must got some option which signed about necessity of getting only last versions of packages.
