[solved] pacman -Syu wants to install older version of a package

Hi,
This is rather a nuissance than an actual problem, but maybe someone knows what i did wrong:
I manually compiled evas-svn doing a makepackage with the pkgbuild from aur. Since its an svn package the versioning is taken from the svn revision. Evas is not the only svn package i manually compiled, actually i did so with all the e17 packages.
Now every time i do a pacman -Su it wants to replace my package with the older one from [community].
Here's a screenshot of pacman -Qs output before and after such an update. The versioning of the manually compiled package seems alright to me, it should not be selected for updating. And as mentioned, other packages - versioned following the same scheme - are not suggested for updating.
Now how can i get rid of that? I dont want to exclude it from updating (i would just forget to remove that as soon as theres really newer packages...and e17 tends not to work anymore in such a case). Also I would like to know what i did wrong
Thanks in advance,
MC.

the PKGBUILD wrote:options=(... 'force')
that's why.  you'll have to add it to IgnorePkg or contact the maintainer about getting the 'force' removed.

  • Pacman -S libgpod installed older version

    I've been using arch for about a day now and really like it. I was a Fedora person but I got sick of waiting for them to release FC6 (should have been out on the 11th )
    Today I ran across something wierd when I installed libgpod. When I ran 'pacman -S libgpod' it installed the version from testing, which is 0.3.2-4. There's a newer version in extra - 0.4.0-1. To install that I had to 'pacman -S extra/libgpod'. why didn't pacman install the newer version in the first place?
    Wizzard

    FWIW, even after removing amarok entirely, changing mirrors (for some reason my main mirror didn't know about libgpod at all), and doing a pacman -Scc, I still get 0.4.0, and it's still corrupted (not sure if it is, but it breaks my ipod).  I had to build 0.3.2 and install it manually.  Come to think of it, after running abs, the most recent PKGBUILD is for 0.4.0.
    Or is 0.4.0 supposed to be in current now?  Either way, it breaks my ipod - the songs get loaded, but the database is entirely corrupted.  Downgrading to 0.3.2 fixed everything.

  • Browse in Bridge from Photoshop CC 2014 fails to open Bridge and wants to install new version

    Hey community!  I found a few similar posts, but couldn't find much of a resolution. 
    Last night I was working in PS CC 2014 and all was well.  Used Browse from Bridge in PS.  Everything is working fine all night long.  Get up this morning, return to work, click browse in Bridge, and Creative Cloud desktop client pops up and says something about installing a new version of Bridge and will get rid of my old version.  The first time I just though it was an update, so I said sure, install the new version.  Then, CC wanted to update a few other apps (PS being one of them), so I closed down everything, and let it update everything while I got a cup of coffee.  Came back and it looked like everything was finished updating.  So I went back to work.  Same thing happens again when I click browse in Bridge.  I tried going directly to Bridge's launch icon and THAT at least opened the application.  It was still open to the same folder I had been using the night before.  I double-clicked on the PSD I was supposed to be working on, and then Illustrator pops up and is trying to open the PSD.
    ***Ok, so I fixed the association problem with Illustrator trying to open the PSD.  I uninstalled my older version of PS CC last night after I was done working, which apparently broke the "file associations" in Windows.  I just had to go tell Windows to open PSD files with PS CC 2014 (even though 2014 has been installed since it's release and that's all I've been using)***
    Still can't get around the Browse in Bridge issue.  It is not a real big deal TO ME where I click to open Bridge, but it does seem like a bug that needs fixing.
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue when trying to Browse in Bridge from Photoshop CC 2014. When I click "Browse in Bridge" in Photoshop CC 2014, the Creative Cloud desktop client window opens up and asks "Are you sure you want to install this version of Bridge"?
    Like you, I also thought it was an update so I clicked' "Yes, install this version" option.
    Bridge will launch from the dock icon I have set up, but not from within Photoshop CC 2014.
    Any solutions to this bug anyone?

  • Problem Installing older version of Adobe Flash Player Activixe (example vers.10 to 9)?

    Hello everyone, I have the problem that I do not know how to install an older version of Flash ActiveX, since trying to install version 9, or even 10.0
    .45, the error that comes out is not a recent version, and does not allow you to continue with the installation, prompting you to go to the site and download the latest one.
    The Flash Player Plugin installed, but only with that will not start the program that I want to start ..
    Before you install and uninstall the previous version of the ActiveX plugin, make sure there is no file flash.ocx (which are usually in C: windows/system32/macromed/flash), disconnect the computer from the Internet, all gate installation files of the most recent flash, everything from the pc, temporary reboot, install the older version but I always leave that mistake, I can not install older versions of Flash.
    I have to install older versions of flash10 eun to start the program, but I can not continue. Someone can suggest how to install a previous version of flash blessed ..?
    Thank you all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ... a little early.: (
    See if you can figure out how do they install?
    Giorg

    Before installing an older FP version you must completely uninstall your current version.
    download the unistaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    close all browser windows and run the downloaded uninstaller
    restart Windows
    delete any remaining files in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash or C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash (64-bit)
    install the old FP version
    P.S. why do you want to install an old Flash Player?

  • How to install older versions of Flash Player(ActiveX) in Win 8?

    Hello all,
    How to install older version of Flash Player in Windows 8? and how to uninstall default Flash Player that come from IE10 in Windows 8?
    Actually I want to install Adobe_Flash_Player_(IE)_v11.7.700.224.exe in Windows 8.
    Is it possible to overcome this issue? If it is not, could you share me your information on this issue?
    Thanks in advance.
    RK.

    Thank you for reply..
    Actually i uninstalled the existing version of Flash Player from my Windows 8 PC, but when i tried to install the older version, it was not allowing me to install and was showing that my browser is included with latest version.
    Even i followed the below given websites, it didn't given any remedy for it.
    http://flash-focus.blogspot.in/2007/03/installing-previous-versions-of-flash.html
    http://www.itsecdb.com/oval/objectdetails/oval/org.mitre.oval/obj/7075/windows-registry_ob ject-Registry-that-holds-the-version-of-the-Adobe-Flash-Player-in/
    So that my PC is restricting the older version installation from somewhere which holds the version information and that user cannot modify/delete that information. If i know that mystery i can install any version of Flash Player in my Windows 8.
    I hope i will find this.
    Thanks for your support.

  • Installer not installing older versions

    I have several versions of a utility built with Lab Windows CVI (NOT LabView) and I want to allow the users to install older versions when ever they want.
    They can't!!!!!!!
    I have older already release versions that I want users to install, when do I need to change to make an older version install over a newer version?????? Is it something in setup.ini?
    This has become critical on one computer where the Add/Remove Programs no longer lists this utility. I cannot uninstall the newer version so that I can install the older version. Any ideas what to do about this?
    I can't even install the same version, so I had to build a new version (I consider it a fake version, because it is only to uninstall the latest version). I installed this fake version, and I was then able to remove the "latest" version and install the older version.
    So, I have 3 questions:
    1)  How can I change my builds to allow any version to be installed on top of any other version?
    2) How can I fix or uninstall a version that is not in the Add/Remove Programs?
    3) How can I change the installer of already built and released version (some ini file or something) to allow it to install on newer versions?

    Hey Ken,
    I'm curious as to what's happening that won't let your users use an older version of the program--do they see an error message of some kind? Generally, as long as the CVI Runtime Engine on the target machine is the same version or newer than the engine the executable was targeted for, it will work. Here's a KnowledgeBase about that: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7F61479A2FD8331D86257257007F5F1B?OpenDocument
    Starting in CVI 2012, you can force an executable to use a specific version of the Runtime Engine, and install multiple versions of the RTE on the same machine, as seen in this CVI help file: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370051V-01/cvi/usermanual/sidebysideoverview/
    So, to answer your questions:
    1. Changing builds to allow any version to be installed: You should only need to have the newest version of the CVI Runtime installed on the user's machine. So if the user has at some point installed the newer version of the utility, they will have that RTE version. You could also rebuild your older versions to include the newest version of the Runtime Engine. The Runtime Engine is backwards-compatible with executables that were built to target older versions of the RTE.
    2. How can I fix or uninstall a version that is not in Add/Remove Programs: It's unusual for the distribution to not make an entry in Add/Remove Programs. What version of CVI did you create these distributions with, and do the applications appear in the Start menu? You might check the application directory (Most likely C:\Program FIles\<Your Application>, and see if an uninstaller exists there. For older versions of CVI, we included an uninstall utility in the program directory. There should be no problem with having multiple versions of your program installed, though.
    3. How can I change the installer to install on newer versions: Once a distribution kit has been made, it's not possible to change which version of the Runtime Engine is included with that distribution. If you have access to the source files, you can of course create a new distribution which includes that RTE.
    I hope this helps, and please let us know if you have any further questions on this issue!

  • TS1702 installing older versions on older iphone

    hi everyone
    i have an old 3g which with all the new updates has become a bit of a dinosaur
    i want to use it as a remote for mu itunes but the newer remote app will not work.
    is there a way to intsall an older version so that i can use it as a remote control for my itunes?
    thanks

    Only if you can restore those apps from an PC backup of your iTunes. If you did not include the iTunes library in your PC backup routine, you can't install older versions of apps again.

  • Install older versions of my purchased Apps on iPhone 4

    Will I be always able to install older versions of my purchased Apps on iPhone 4, forever, even if I do not ever upgrade the IOS? I am using iPhone 4 with IOS 5.1 at present. I want to install my purchases from App Store and not have to worry about saving previous vesions of my apps in iTunes. It is important for me to fully understand the rescrictions imposed by Apple platforms, before I invest.

    On your device, check Settings>General>Software Update. Since you are still on iOS 6.x.x, you should have a software update available to you (iOS 7.x.x). Normally, you will see a "Download and Install button with the size of the download being displayed. However, if you see a "Downloaded" with an "Install" button, you have graciously been given a gift by Apple. They have downloaded the iOS 7 update for you automatically which is now using up to 3.1 GB of your memory to sit on the device, even if you DO NOT want to install it. There is also no way to delete it (aside from pressing the Install button).

  • [SOLVED] pacman -Syu - Installation just died

    I just ran my weekly pacman -Syu on my install.  I can't remember what updates were available but one was Linux firmware.  I did the command from SSH when putty lost connection.  I logged into my ESXi VM console to find it with lots of information that I really have no idea on.  Neither the normal boot or the Fallback work.  I really should have snap shotted the VM prior to the upgrade
    Any work around?

    first of all, you wouldn't start the ssh session in screen ofc, that makes no sense whatsoever. You start screen in your ssh session on the server, and by doing this, the following:

    won't be a problem anymore, since nothing depends on the ssh connection anymore.
    You just reconnect, screen -r and go on.
    Second: as you see in the second quote, he didn't say anything about a kernel panic, just a lost ssh connection and the problems it caused. If you use screen on the server, literally nothing happens if you lose your ssh connection, you can even scroll back in screen to see what happened while you disconnected.

  • Unable To Install --  Older Version -- of FLASH

    Hi,
      I have latest version of FLASH Player in my system( Windows 7 ). But due to some reason I have to install Older verion of Flash in my system.
    But when I am trying to install older version I am getting error message saying "Newer Version is available please visit http:// .... ".
    Please let me know how can I install older Version of Flash.
    Thanks
    Mayank

    I haven't done this in Windows 7, only XP, but I imagine something similar will work....
    Here is the uninstaller: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    Here are the instructions for "safe uninstall": http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402435.html
    And here are the archived players: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html
    Also I think there was something about using a "/clean" switch after the uninstall command.
    It was a little while ago, so there might be newer versions out there....

  • I want to install Japanese version of Photoshop and Indesign.

    I want to install Japanese version of Photoshop and Indesign.
    ButI have installed English version.
    Is this a reason that I can't install?  

    Launch the Adobe Application Manager and click on your name in the top left to the context menu. From the menu choose Preferences and switch the Language field to Japanese.
    You will need to uninstall the English version before installing the Japanese version. Uninstall on Windows from the Control Panel and on Mac OS X by using the links in the folder Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
