Update works after removing file firefox-2.0.0.10-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz from package cache.

This is actually an error in our server-side DB scripts.

The DB entries point to a real filename, and somehow the filename entry for 2.0.0.10-2 was pointing to the 2.0.0.10-2 package. This is a tad annoying, but not a pacman issue.

What I'm going to do is assign this to Alex.

It might be best to push out a -3 build, because correcting the filename will not actually upgrade for people affected by this bug, as pacman still says they have 2.0.0.10-2

Ah the problem seems to be in firefox pkgbuild file:

pkgname=firefox
pkgver=2.0.0.10
pkgrel=1

Don't know why pacman shows target as firefox-2.0.0.10-2.

Ok, clarifies the issue.

Yeah, it was bumped and tagged accidentally, it appears. So it goofed the db scripts up, which are not all that intelligent
