If I had some lib, say liblol, that was a dep of bash, and my bash script here depends on bash - this packages doesn't need a rebuild due to liblol.
I think these situations are rare, and it would be much better to maintain a manual list in these cases.
Sadly not that rarely. There are almost half of the db and heimdal update affected packages with hidden deps. Formerly we had those "ToDo" list but they got broken due to the repo shuffle. They are also unusable for 2 architectures. Maybe checkpkg should automatically run such a dep check when it detects a .so change. We should also force all devs to use checkpkg/namcap/{repo}pkg to minimize the risk of broken updates. bug filed: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8243 Andy
