By the "AUR helpers cannot update packages" comment, I really meant
that scripts/helpers that use rpc.php to get the parsed version were
being confused about the actual AUR version of the package, meaning
they couldn't update locale packages (which always seemed newer if
they had an epoch > 0).

Hey.
The epoch field in PKGBUILD files is completely ignored now, and the
final Version field for the package consists only of pkgver and pkgrel
(example: 5.0-1)
This means that various AUR helpers cannot perform updates on packages
that have epoch > 0, because the local package is from that high
