Hi list,

Looks like there's a problem with version numbers handling in pacman.
It assumes bind 9.4.1_P1-1 (in the repo) is older than 9.4.1-1
(installed) and prevents me from updating it which is stupid since the
version in the repo is suposed to fix a security issue in bind (same
remark applies to dnsutils).

My questions are why is that happening, what should be done, Is this
the maintainers' fault (no offense to them) or pacman's (no offense to
developpers) ?

I don't want to be rude but this is serious.

Log follows :

# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 current is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: bind: local (9.4.1-1) is newer than current (9.4.1_P1-1)
warning: dnsutils: local (9.4.1-1) is newer than current (9.4.1_P1-1)
 local database is up to date

Thanks.
