Below is an excerpt from the integrity check results from arch-dev-public. It seems like most (if not all) of these are provided by perl, though the actual packages are in AUR. What is the appropriate solution (before anyone says the bugtracker, there are already two bugs about this [1] and [2]). I can think of a few solutions: A) Making sure packages in the provides array are also in the repository B) Checking for dependencies (in just the integrity check, if it's not already in pacman) in the provides array of packages C) Shifting the set of packages below to depend on perl instead If the appropriate answer is not C), I'd be interested in adjusting the Integrity Check code. Just let me know the appropriate solution. MAQ.
