If the packages (with the same pkgname) have the same pkgver and pkgrel pacman will not update the package installed otherwise pacman will update it with the version on repository. > I am interested in this with regards both to this question and > to others -- e.g. the main repositories currently have Amarok 1.4 > while AUR has 2.0.

When Tpowa will update amarok-base at 2.0, amarok2 in AUR will be obsolete and (probably) amarok-base 1.4 will put in AUR as amarok1. Pacman will not remove your amarok2 to install the new amarok-base.
