I'd have to disagree. pacman knows that the -svn package will be installed, because we've just told it, i.e. pacman -A libraw1394-svn-32768.pkg.tar.gz. Not only that, but pacman knows about the conflict, because it has read the -svn .PKGINFO file - the same file that gives pacman the provides= info. So, should it not be possible to do pacman -Qi $provides and exclude any packages on the 'Required By' list from the dependency check? Before anyone says 'OK, so where's your patch?' - I'm no developer, apart from which this only occurred to me while reading this thread. Maybe this is all taken care of in pacman 3? _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
