Can someone explain this to me:
1) Check available versions
$ pacman -Si kdepim | grep Version
Version : 3.5.9-2
Version : 3.5.9.20080501-0.1
Ok, which version is newest?
$ vercmp '3.5.9-2' '3.5.9.20080501-0.1'
-1
Hmmm
$ vercmp
usage: vercmp <ver1> <ver2>
return values:
< 0 : if ver1 < ver2
0 : if ver1 == ver2
> 0 : if ver1 > ver2
Ok, version 3.5.9.20080501-0.1 is newer, so try to install it:
$ sudo pacman -S kdepim
:: kdepim is in IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup. Install anyway? [Y/n]

Why did not pacman choose the newer version to install?
