[SOLVED] pacman: updating package. how to see old version?

Hi,
is it possible to see the old version of a package before doing an update? "pacman -Suu" only shows the new version and not the installed version
Thanks

Actually, it shows both the old and new versions in a very pretty way:

  • How to keep old versions of apps before updating

    I may want to retain the old version of some of my apps. On my Mac whenever I download updates to software, I always keep the installers for the old versions, just in case. However on iOS, when you download an update, it unceremoniously erases your old version, which has caused me to lose data in some cases!
    I noticed that in iTunes, "Transfer Purchases" moves the current .IPA files to your Mac. I've also noticed that when you "Transfer Purchases" again, the new versions replace the old versions, which get moved into the Trash (but not fully deleted yet). I've started keeping folders of old versions of apps. You can then manually put those older versions back into the proper folder and resync them to the iPhone if you liked the old version better
    I wish the iOS let you roll back to the old version of the app, in case the new version breaks something (like Time Machine for iOS). I think I'm going to write a letter to Apple

    That is correct Dancingjewel.  Migrating/transferring/copying Adobe applications is not supported and often leads to unexpected behavior.  To resolve this you will want to attempt to completely remove the current installations utilizing the CC Cleaner Tool and then reinstall.  If you need a fresh copy of the installation files they are available at Other downloads.

  • I was recently prompted to update my Itunes player to the latest version. I'm using Windows Vista. I was left with an error message MSVCR80.dll and consequently no new update. I uninstalled the old version and have tried to reinstall manually. No luck

    I was recently prompted to update my Itunes player to the latest version. I'm using Windows Vista. I was left with an error message MSVCR80.dll and consequently no new update. I uninstalled the old version and have tried to reinstall manually several times. No luck. Consequently I have no player.
    Any ideas for a fix?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    <Email Edited by Host>

    If you are a developer, or have a similar personality, there is an aftermarket EFI-64 "work-alike" program you can load into memory instead of 64-bit firmware. It is too complicated for regular folks.
    You must already have upgraded your Memory and your graphics card to use this solution, and your Mac will not operate quite normally. Any problems with it are unsupported.

  • [SOLVED] Displaying updated packages

    I know that when I'm on the shell I can use pacman or yaourt to update my system, I can see if there is any new packages and update them. What I would like is a way to receive a daily email showing updated packages so I can remotely log on the server and update the system if I judge the updates important enough.
    I already do a similar thing on my FreeBSD boxes (I'm more of a BSD guy than a Linux one, but I digress).
    While thinking more about it, would something like this work:
    pacman -Syy >/dev/null | yaourt --query --upgrades --aur
    EDIT: Solution: see my last post in this thread.

    Why?  With yaourt (or pacman) -Sy, only the database of the packages are updated, if need be. Two "y" would download the database for each repo even tho they weren't modified.
    When you run "pacman -Sy", you download the latest database files. After that point, any packages that you install will be the latest versions. If you don't run "pacman -Su" first, then you may install a new package without updating one of the libraries that it depends on, which may break the package. That is why it is recommended to always run "pacman -Syu". It makes sure that you always have consistent dependencies.
    Or course, if you know for sure that you will never install a package without running "pacman -u" first, then it doesn't matter. If that is not the case, it would be better to create a separate directory, symlink "/var/lib/pacman/local" into that directory, and then use that directory as the database directory in your scripts (pacman -Syb /path/to/dir). That way, the system database is not affected. To save further bandwidth, you can just copy the downloaded databases in the alternative database directory into the default database directory when you want to update the system databases.

  • How to Uninstall Old Versions and Install Version 6 Update 13 of Java

    When I try to install Version 6 Update 13 (tried it by downloading file and doing a manual install), get this message:
    bin\awt.dll:Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match.
    Have tried to unintall Version 12 from "Add/Remove Programs" with no luck.
    Shall I unistall all Java programs and try to reinstall?

    Bailey,
    This is a bit of a pain the arrse but... I suggest you disable java in all your browsers in (tools ~ options) and then reboot to ensure the java plugin is not loaded. Now try uninstalling through add-remove-programs.
    If add-remove-programs doesn't work then manually delete the JRE & JDK directories in windows explorer and then run a registry-cleaner (google it, there's a few good free ones, I use registry-mechanic and crapcleaner (yes that's really what it's called)) to clean-up dangling guids, etc. Also check add-remove-programs... if any of the old Java installs still appear then try uninstalling.. they should throw some sort of "installation not found" error and remove themselves from the programs list.
    Once all the old versions of Java have been removed then install the latest version, which should install it's plugins in your browser(s) and activate itself... look in (tools ~ options) again.
    Check your PATH, JAVA_HOME, etc environment variables... just type "set" at the command prompt... update them to point to your new JRE (and your new JDK if you have one).
    If you have a CLASS_PATH variable I recommend you copy&paste it's value into a desktop/class_path.txt and delete the variable, coz it's worse than useless.
    Cheers. Keith.

  • How to uninstall old versions of Flash player?

    I have the latest version of the Flash Player (9.0.28.0)
    installed.
    However when I run Secunia's software inspector (
    http://secunia.com/software_inspector/?task=load)
    it finds an old version of the Flash 7.0.19.0 and flags it as
    'Insecure'.
    This is in two places:
    C:/WINDOWS/system32/Macromed/Flash/Flash.ocx
    and
    C:/I386/Flash.ocx
    How can I uninstall the old version - I do not see Flash
    Player in Add/Remove of Windows (Win XP SP2)?
    thanks

    It's quite handy, actually, and I suspect relatively new. It
    checks your machine for outdated/unsafe applications:
    http://secunia.com/software_inspector
    And of course it's totally free.
    How can I verify what version(s) of Flash that I might have
    loaded? There's no Program Files entry or anything in Add/Remove,
    etc. OTOH, the Secunia site shows where at least part of the
    product(s) are loaded, yet it's not totally clear to me if those
    locations are in use by the current version.

  • Printing timeline and How to purchase old version of Premiere

    I print pdf timelines from animatics in an old copy of premiere and annotate  as a timing guide for animation production. The 'print timeline' command has been dropped in new versions of the software so I've kept an old machine dedicated for this one task running premiere 5.5 (the last version of software that printed pdf timelines dependably). I will soon be starting at a new company and will need this feature...how do I buy a copy of the old version (5.5) of the software....?
    (It's a shame adobe drppoed this feature as it drove lots of animation people away from using premiere)

    Maybe the reason it's such a popular topic is that a lot of people running W2K (as I happily did for almost 10 years) are being forced into an XP or VISTA upgrade just to get the software tools they need to stay current?  I resisted as long as I could, but had to break down and setup an XP system last year.
    In fact ... I came close to "downgrading" my new laptop from XP to W2K.
    I now have two machines in my home office:  the new XP machine and my old W2K machine, which I need to keep running to avoid more software upgrades.  Case in point, I'm still running FrameMaker 5.5 which works fine for the tech writing side of my business, and I don't need any more "features" to do what I want to do.  But it won't run on XP.  I've been using FrameMaker since the early days, when it was owned by Frame Technologies, and wasn't happy about Adobe buying them out.  If you browse the FrameMaker forum you'll understand why.
    I was just last night ranting to the wife about this.  What if your automotive tools required an upgrade every 4-5 years?  Your carpentry tools?  Your cooking tools?  The analogy may not be perfect, but upgrades is the one thing I don't like about our tools.  Everything else about this business is a lot of fun, a creative outlet, cathartic for me.
    Sorry to wax so philosophical, but this has been bugging me a lot lately.  See my thread on render crashes for another example:

    I still think I may haved screwed up the settings on that new Edius capture card.

  • After installing updates to Pages, Numbers, still old versions listed

    I have recently successfully installed Mavericks 10.9.1.  At Apple's suggestion, i went to App Store and downloaded (and subsequently installed) updated version of Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc.  However, when I open my Pages and my Numbers apps, the old version-numbers (Pages 09 4.3; Numbers 09 2.3) are still listed.
    Pages appears to be upgraded since at least one feature touted in the new version is available.  How do I verify that I have the new version? If I do not have the full version...?  Nate

    You have both.
    The new versions are in your Applications folder.
    The old versions are in your Applications/iWork folder.
    To check which you have opened:
    Menu > Pages (or Numbers/Keynote) > About Pages (or Numbers/Keynote)
    Be warned: These are very much cut down versions of the iWork suite. In Pages 5's case with over 90+ features removed.

  • IWorks update did NOT deleted the old versions

    Hello folks,
    I did the iWork free upgrade using the Mac App Store, it removed the old icons from aplication's folder and launch pad.
    But I noticed that my Dock Icons were keept unchanged, and for my surprise they do launch the old version of the applications!
    And everytime I launch the old versions they alert me about the new version and ask me if I want to update, if I do, it tries to download
    the new version again!
    Besides alerting apple of this bug, I would like to remove the old versions, how should I proceed ?
    Thank you very much.

    The idea that keeping the old versions were a "feature" and not a bug crossed my mind too.. Specially after noticing all the iOS version compatibility warnnings showed after launching the new versions..
    And I must correct myself, the update did remove the old icons from LaunchPad, but not the iWork'09 folder inside applications, I just missed it cause I was looking for the icons and not a Folder.
    Thanks for your reply mende1.

  • How to install old version of Java

    Hello,
    I need to install an old version of Java for a program we use.  I know, they really need to update it but they aren't going to update it within the next few days so I'm trying to get this to work.
    Is there any way to install Java 1.6_35 or lower?  I'm having problems finding the download for it and getting it installed.  I'm running 10.8.4.
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Thanks for the yahoo link... although I think Google or even Bing is better.
    I'm still looking to see if it's possible to install that version of java on OSX 10.8.4.
    None of those links have the dmg file (at least the first 10)  Good try.
