Yeah, Xavier got to me first - this is a requiredby issue, which is totally removed in 3.1, yay.
Do you know when pacman 3.1 might be ready for a release? If we just ignore this issue and move this stuff to extra, will the broken dependencies corrected when the new pacman will be installed?
There won't be issues like "local db says that 'foo' depends on 'bar' but that's not true" because pacman 3.1 doesn't read/write such information in a local db. "Required by" entries in -Qi (and all other operations) are calculated at run time in pacman 3.1.
Yeah Roman explained it well enough. RequiredBy issues will just go away when pacman3.1 is released. Judging from here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8109 There's not a huge amount of work left, and a lot of those are already done. Still, Dan would be better at predicting a release date...
