Hi,

I'm installing a new system, and using the instructions at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks sections 2.5
and 2.6 to get the list of packages to install from my current system.

When I run the `pacman -S --needed - < pkglist.txt` part, I get a few
cases where pacman says "There are N providers available for X`.

What I did for those cases is look up the providers in the `Package
Search` page on the archlinux.org and chose the most recent one. Is
that a reasonable strategy to use?

Is there a better way to make the decision?

Searching the web for that string didn't really provide any useful
answers unfortunately.

Regards
Spencer
