Topic: Warnings about utility files with mismatched versions.

If I run pacman -Syu, I get

warning: iputils: local (20161105.1f2bb12-2) is newer than core (20161105-2.hyperbola2)
warning: liboauth: local (1.0.3+9+g11e9461-2) is newer than extra (1.0.3-2.hyperbola1)
warning: libxtst: local (1.2.3-1) is newer than extra (1.2.2-1.hyperbola1)
warning: ncurses: local (6.0+20170429-1) is newer than core (6.0+20161126-1.hyperbola1)
warning: pwsafe: local (20160304-2) is newer than community (0.1.3-1.hyperbola1)
 there is nothing to do

What's wrong? I have hypebola installed on two computers, and only one does this.

pacman -S iputils liboauth libxtst ncurses pwsafe

This happens due to different naming conventions used. As you can see above, the naming style is quite different in all packages.

Re: Warnings about utility files with mismatched versions.

type in pacman -Syuu if you want to make the new changes, but if you are on 0.4, make sure you have the testing mirrors equipped, and you use pacman -Syyuu instead and vice versa for stable.
