This is a problem in our current version of initscripts: If a package is 
added in staging, but the PKGBUILD shows an older version, the package 
and database data become inconsistent:

$ cat /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra/graphviz-2.16.1-3/desc
%FILENAME%
graphviz-2.18-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

%NAME%
graphviz

%VERSION%
2.16.1-3

%DESC%
Creates acircular graph images

%CSIZE%
1304315

%MD5SUM%
47e014aa4dc7f3976db49ede4621af97

%FORCE%

This causes problems during the upgrade. Please be more careful until 
our dbscripts have more checks included and never forget to add the 
PKGBUILD properly.
