I disagree. This same thing happens to me with my package "brasero-lite". It
is brasero but without the gnome dependencies, and has the
provides=('brasero'), but when I try and install a package that has brasero
as a dependencie, such as sound-juicer, pacman attempts to install brasero,
not realising that i allready have brasero-lite. This isn't a sound juicer
fault, it is a fault in pacman.2009/4/6 Allan McRae <[email protected]> > [email protected] wrote: > >> Hi there. >> I'm looking for a clean way to handle packages that can replace others. >> Examples: >> lash can be substituted by lash-git, it works fine, except namcap >> complains: >> >> hydrogen-svn E: Dependency detected and not included (lash-git) from >> files ['usr/bin/hydrogen'] >> hydrogen-svn W: Dependency included and not needed (lash) >> >> Adding 'lash' or 'lash=0.6.0' to the provides array of lash-git doesn't >> help. >> I have the same situation with for example jack-audio-connection-kit >> where we have quite a number of different packages that all provide the >> same basic functionality and are interchangeable. >> >> Note that it mostly works with provides, it just isn't clean and there >> are cases where it can break stuff. >> Is there a solution to this? >> >> > > I think this is more a limitation in namcap than your package.
