Pacman: Show current versions during upgrade

Hi,
When running an upgrade, I am interested to know the version I have currently installed for each package (only the version to be installed is shown). It doesn't look like pacman has this capability. I wrote a script earlier in the year that used pacman to gather current and new versions and display them side by side before running an upgrade, but it broke with a new pacman release.
Before I fix it (and was then thinking of putting it in the AUR) is there already something that will do this?
Thanks

pacman-4.0 has a "VerbosePkgLists" option that provides all these details.

How to update Acrobat 9 to current version during CS4 install

HI All:
I have a corporate wide deployment of Creative Suite 4 and Acrobat 9 Professional. Due to the security vulnerabilities of Acrobat Professional, we need to update Acrobat 9 to version 9.4 during the deployment.
For Acrobat Pro 9 the procedure is to edit the setup.ini to include the patches you want to install. see the following technote: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/507/cpsid_50757.html
Basically update the setup.ini file
[Product]
msi=AcroPro.msi
Languages=1033;1031;1036
1033=English (United States)
1031=German (Germany)
1036=French (France)
PATCH=AcroProStdUpd910_T1T2_incr.msp;AcrobatUpd912_all_incr.msp;AcrobatUpd913_all_incr.msp ;AcrobatUpd920_all_incr.msp;AcrobatUpd930_all_incr.msp;AcrobatUpd932_all_incr.msp;AcrobatU pd933_all_incr.msp;AcrobatUpd940_all_incr.msp
I need to do the same thing with the CS4/Acrobat 9 install but there is no setup.ini file for this install. I checked the setup.xml but can not find a way to do this.
Does anyone have any information on how to do this?
thank you,

I have found that I can update CS4 Acrobat to the current version using a batch file.
I have created the batch file calling Acrobat *.msp files and there was no other commands needed to run MSIEXEC. I have tested it and it runs and starts the installer.
Contents of batch file:
@ECHO OFF

[useless, SOLVED] Pacman shows package corrupted while upgrading

I pacman -Syu'ed my system after a week & there was these error of cyclic dependancy while installing gcc package. So, I issued this command:
sudo pacman -S gcc gcc-libs gcc-ada gcc-fortran gcc-objc libtool
While instaling, it showed that gcc's package is corrupted.
But, later I tried installing it using
sudo pacman -U gcc-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz gcc-libs-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz gcc-ada-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz gcc-fortran-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz gcc-objc-4.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz libtool-2.4
and it installed correctly.
It seems like local repo had the wrong md5 of the gcc package. How come?

I was successful in installing that same package if I used -U option. Thats some serious bug in pacman which should be looked into.
Please tell me as to what more info should I provide to be of more help.

Possible to show current time during call (not length of call)?

when i am on a call, the lock screen shows the phone number and the length of time i have been on the call. is it possible to change this, so that the lock screen shows me the current time (like it does when i am not on the phone)?
currently, the only way to bring up the current time is to (1) hit the home button (brings up phone controls), (2) slide to unlock, (3) hit home again (to get to enter passcode screen), and (4) enter passcode to see time in green bar at the top of the screen. it's a cumbersome process.

If I receive a call when locked, after answering, I can see the time in the top status bar...

Library does not show current version

I have been using Photoshop as my external editor . When I edit in an album and the rate the edited version after I save it back into aperature neither the edits nor the rating show when I view the images from the library.. This is beyond bizzare

Resolved by switching to Lightroom

Dreamweaver does not show current version of page

Not sure how to describe this problem. When I open a page in dreamweaver for editing, the text is not the text I put there recently. If I do I "live view" it IS the text the should be there, if I preview in a browser it IS the right text as well. I can't edit the site at all. I have little enough work coming in without losing more clients because of this sudden glitch. First everything was crashing after the Snow Leopard update, then as that seems to be working better, this happens! Ive been using Dreamweaver since macromedia version 1 and I've had issues but nothing this strange. Any ideas?

Hmmm...
Make sure you are having valid code in your page.
Try running it at http://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input once and see if there are any errors.
DW may not be able to show your content if you have invalid code as it will get confused on what to display.

Document current version material master

We currently have our document management system configured to show the current version of a document. This works fine for documents in FR (final release). What is a problem is that in the material master we still see documents attached that are OB (obsolete) or AR (archive). Is there a config setting to not show archived documents when showing current versions? So we want our material master to show only the lastest drawing in FR status.
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
The 'current version' setting is like a filter. In case the radio button is set to 'Current Version' only the highest version of a document number is displayed.
The system logic depends on different circumstances and is like:
no version is released:
In this case the highest document version is displayed.
a version is in released status:
Then this version is displayed as the current one. Even if there are higher version numbers.
To be sure the system behavior is correct please check also if the notes 847511 and 775515 are implemented correctly.
I hope this information could be useful for you. If yes please donate some points.
Best regards,
Christoph

Since upgrading to current version I lost my card log in feature

I used to be able to save my usernames and passwords so that I wouldn't have to manually type them in. Why don't I have that since upgrading to current version?

Firefox 4 uses a new build-in home page called about:home
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
If you want a home with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com or www.google.com/firefox used in Firefox 3 versions.

Hello- I recently upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my iMac and cannot download the most current version of Adobe Flash Player. Please help!

Hello- I recently upgraded to OS Mountain Lion on my iMac and cannot download the most current version of Adobe Flash Player. I even uninstalled the old Flash version but this did not resolve the issue. Could somebody please assist? Thank you.

Hello- I was able to resolve the issue after clicking on the top right hand corner that shows the recent downloads (it has that down arrow). I realized that I had tried downloading the Adobe Flash Player Install Manager about 7 times, but still needed to click on the file and install! So I erased all the duplicates and installed one of the Flash Player Install Managers and it finally worked! Yay!

Install them with pacman -U pathtoyourfile
