> Yes the upgrade from 1.4.7 to 1.4.7a is forced because pacman's version > comparison thinks 1.4.7 is newer than 1.4.7a IMHO it is not a good idea, if pacman thinks that 1.4.7 is newer than 1.4.7a, then pkgver should be changed to 1.4.7.a , and force=y shouldn't be used; force=y should be used to force downgrades only.
