But then: pacman knows that A is installed and depends on libfoo.so.1. But still it removes that library. Why ? I'd just say it fails to do its job, part of which is being aware of dependencies.
In fact, pacman doesn't know that application A needs libfoo.so.1.
It *should* know this :-)
It just knows that package (which contains application A0 requires package libfoo (which contains library libfoo.so.1).
In that case, play it safe and don't remove anything that any app could depend on. It's better than making a system instantly unusable. Ciao, -- FA O tu, che porte, correndo si ? E guerra e morte !
