[arch-general] How did spyder/python-spyder-kernels downgrade version?

2020-03-07 Thread Oon-Ee Ng via arch-general
I've got spyder-4.0.1-2 and python-spyder-kernels-1.8.1-1 installed. They're not self-compiled, they just came in as regular repo updates (on 22nd February 2020). However the current repo version of both is 3.3.6-2 and 0.5.2-4. Looks like a rollback of spyder related packages took place?
