With the recent big rebuild in testing, pacman 3.1 detected a dependency cycle again, which reminded me of this mail. The cycle wasn't only caused by the commit above, because there was already another cycle there before. bash 3.2.025-2 -> depends on readline>=5.2 readline 5.2-5 -> depends on ncurses ncurses 5.6-6 -> depends on glibc glibc 2.7-7 -> depends on bash -> oops! But it looks like there are other ones as well. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list arch@archlinux.org http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
