Using Manjaro and trying to upgrade the cura package to the latest (shown as 4.8.0-1 on AUR at the time of writing). My installed version is 4.7.1-2, and I cannot get it to upgrade.

> pacaur -Q --info cura
Name            : cura
Version         : 4.7.1-2

> pacaur -Sy cura 
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
 sublime-text is up to date
warning: cura-4.7.1-2 is up to date -- reinstalling

Packages (1) cura-4.7.1-2

Total Installed Size:  69.42 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:       0.00 MiB
...

As you can see, it wants to reinstall rather than update cura. I also did pacaur -Syu and everything is up to date.

Any idea why the latest version isn't installing, or what I can do to figure it out?

That's not AUR. "Community" is a standard pacman repository containing binary packages, and is not managed through pacaur.

Although AUR is shared between both Arch and Manjaro, the binary package repositories are not. Manjaro has its own pacman repositories which import Arch packages according to separate schedules for "stable" and "testing".

Using the branch compare tool, Manjaro repositories have cura 4.7.2-1 in the "stable" branch, and 4.8.0-1 only in the "testing" & "unstable" branches. If you want the latest version, see Manjaro's Switching Branches documentation.

  • Wow, thank you for the info and link, that's really helpful. I was completely oblivious to that and I've been using Manjaro for years, every day, as my primary. Sheesh!
