coreutils 6.9-3 -> depends on bash
bash 3.2.025-1 -> depends on readline>=5.2
readline 5.2-4 -> depends on ncurses
ncurses 5.6-4 -> depends on coreutils -> oops!
This was casused by this commit: http://cvs.archlinux.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/base/ncurses/PKGBUILD.diff?r1=1.24&r2=1.25&cvsroot=Core&only_with_tag=CURRENT I think we should revert it (because dependencies of other packages are fine and make more sense).
I made this change because ncurses has an install script, and without coreutils installed it may fail to execute if you are doing a new chroot install. Any thoughts when this kind of thing comes up? Ideally we use as few install scripts as possible in core/base so we don't have to worry about this. -Dan
