This is a very straightforward case. The 0.4.7-2 was a forced downgrade, because of that pacman wants to replace your package with the older version. http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/network/wpa_supplicant/PKGBUILD?rev=1.4&cvsroot=Current&only_with_tag=CURRENT&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup See the force variable. We'd never really thought of this case when adding that feature... Jason -- If you understand, things are just as they are. If you do not understand, things are just as they are.
