Description: When performing a pacman -Syu I was informed that:
local etracer-0.35-6 is newer than etracer-0.4-1
and etracer was not updated. I had to manually update with pacman -S etracer

Additional info:
* pacman-3.1.1, etracer-0.35-6 (existing), etracer-0.4-1 (available update)
* I posted to arch-general on this and it was suggested that the newer version should be 0.40-1
* It was also suggested that the "force" option should have forced an update but it didn't

Steps to reproduce:
1) With etracer-0.35-6 installed perform sudo pacman -Syu
2) Observe the warning that installed version is newer than available update
This task depends upon

The tcl-8.5.0 update has broken etracer so I guess both issues can be fixed at once. It would be great if the missing preview for "Bunny Hill" could be fixed too.

Oops, I didn't see you reported it. See also  bug 9349 .

It seems there's something wrong with force flags in community database. I was trying to get it working for my colorer package 3 times last year (in time when force=y changed to options=(force)), but thought that I was doing something wrong then.

Well, there were more details about that in  FS#9349 .
I also sent a mail to pacman-dev : http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-January/010998.html
But I might be totally off. No one replied yet.
