Unable to update some packages: pacman thinks installed ones are newer

Hi all,
pacman gives me this warning on updates:
[root@beta ~]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
current is up to date
extra is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: ion: local (20070203-1) is newer than extra (3rc_20070506-1)
warning: jdk: local (6-2) is newer than extra (6u1-1)
local database is up to date
What should I do?
Thanks,
Fabio Varesano

I guess the main problem is that it'll take much more time, without any benefits, because the nearest mirror are generally the fastest. Am I wrong ?
Though, there are probably some regions that are not well deserved (not much mirrors, and of poor quality), in this case you might want to extend it a bit. But mirrors at the opposite of the globe are generally not very fast
you'd be surprised. Here in Australia, there's an irish mirror I get great speeds from, despite ireland being literally on the other side of the planet. Yet closer neighbors, like japan, and some south east asian countries, I get terrible speeds.

    I have an iPod Touch which I've had for almost 4 years, with 32 GB of memory. I am unable to update it, and consequently cannot install any newer apps. I am very disappointed that I spent a lot of $$; now Apple wants me to spend $$ again to get a new one. As I mentioned, I am pretty upset. Does anyone know if there's a work around?

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • I have Firefox 4.0.1 on Windows xp and the toolbar is overlaying the address bar;also some windows (such as this one) are not displayed correctly.

    When I start Firefox and if I close and then reopen it the address bar is fine. But when I go the a new address, the menu bar overlays the address bar. Also a small number of pages, such as this one are overlayed with some garbage which is other parts of the page. This page is overlayed with "Ask a New Question" over and over again. That does not go away with I close and then reopen the page. It is overlaying this box, so i can barely see what I am writing. There are probably many tbold text'''

    Ubuntu may have moved those three button as well to that control bar.

  • CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 unable to update device packages

    Chaps,
    This is a new install of LMS 3.2 with the Campus Manager patched to 5.2.1.
    I'm unable to install any new device updates, if I use the GUI and Check for Updates then it says that none are available.  The Device Count Type for Campus Manager is 0 although and my 3750X stacks are not supported.
    Any ideas?
    Jim

    Try to install the update manually. Open CLI on the server, navigate to $NMSRoot\bin directory and execute the commands:
    1. PSUCli.bat -p cm -dst  -download CMDeviceUpdates ,     On providing cisco.com credentials CMDeviceUpdates.zip will be
    downloaded to "\cm" location. For example if  is
    C:\psu_download then package will be under C:\psu_download\cm.
    2. Install the package by executing below command:
    PSUCli.bat -p cm -install -src\cm CMDeviceUpdates

  • Unable to update aur packages

    I'm using yaourt to install packages and keep my system up to date. Whenever I run $yaourt -Syu I can update packages from core, extra and community but never aur. Is something wrongly configured?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    RTFM, dude
    yaourt -Syu --aur is what you're looking for.

  • I am unable to update firmware so as to install na...

    Hi I live in Barcelona spain and bought a new 5800XM for christmas. As soon as I saw the new free navagator I tried to install, but it says that it needs latest firmware 31.0.008 or onwards, so I duely try to update my phone, I download the nokia software updater, conect my phone and it then tells me:-
    Firmware version
    Current 25.0.025
    Update 25.0.025
    Help, how can this be when I see people have v40... What am I doing wrong, I read someones feed saying I must wait wait and wait for my operator to update... Is this true, does this not com from nokia.... Thanks for any insight.

    @Chetan - that would be pointless. First of the hard reset you mentioned is impossible on the 5800, as it is a touch screen phone. Second, even if you hard reset it a zillion times and reinstall software updater the same number of times, if the handset's product number is still not supported (due to either branding or regional issues), he will not get the update.

  • Hi, I had to re install my itunes library from a hard drive to my new laptop. Now I cant sync my iphone because itunes thinks all songs are new and basically doubling all albums. Should i restore iphone or is there a better way?

    Have you tried exporting a 10 second section of the footage to see if the issue shows up once the seqeunce is actually exported from the timeline. I edit on CS5 with windows 7 pro at work quite often and have no issues so I assure you that isn't the issue. I also edit with AVCHD footage when at home and work quite freqeuntly as well so I'm positive that isn't the issue. It sounds like a GPU driver has been corrupted in the way it interacts with premiere pro. What type of GPU do you have? If it supports MPE's GPU acceleration have you tried turning it off and seeing if that makes any difference?
    Anyways though try to export a 10 second test section of your timeline to see if when the clip is exported from premiere it will play normally in windows media player or vlc or w/e media player you want to use. If it exports fine then you can almost be positive it's a corrupted video card driver. If that's the case I'd re-install your GPU's driver and also check your gpu makers website to see if they have a updated driver avaiable.

    What are the versions of your pacman and yaourt?
    There are some updates to all the pacman, yaourt and AUR web pages,
    so can you try this:
    1. upgrade pacman itself first
    2. upgrade yaourt itself, then
    3. and last, try full system upgrade.
    These errors seem familiar, but I have no idea how it disappeared.
