I disagree. This same thing happens to me with my package "brasero-lite". It is brasero but without the gnome dependencies, and has the provides=('brasero'), but when I try and install a package that has brasero as a dependencie, such as sound-juicer, pacman attempts to install brasero, not realising that i allready have brasero-lite. This isn't a sound juicer fault, it is a fault in pacman.
That is a different problem....
The brasero-lite PKGBUILD should have provides=("brasero=2.26.0") in it. Sound-juicer requires "brasero>=2.26.0" so just providing brasero is not enough.

I believe this doesn't work either and the problems are at least related. Concrete example: lash-git: provides=('lash=0.6.0') calf-git: depends=('fluidsynth' 'libglade' 'lash>=0.6.0')
namcap calf-git-20090406-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz calf-git E: Dependency detected and not included (lash-git) from files ['usr/bin/calfjackhost'] calf-git W: Dependency included and not needed (lash)
As I said, we have two completely different problems here. Yours is a limitation of namcap and it would be good to file a feature request to get it fixed.
The other "problem" is a PKGBUILD with incomplete provides encountering a versioned dependency. Completely different.

Allan, I still don't know how I can solve the above mentioned problem. As you see I versioned the provides and required the version in this case and it doesn't help.
As I see it I have the same problem here as Laurie Clark-Michalek. I believe if this was in AUR and I tried to download calf-git through yaourt it would try to install lash despite lash-git being installed already.
It should not. If it does, then it is a bug in yaourt. If you have lash-git installed, then build calf-git manually using and installed it with "pacman -U <pkg>", there should be no complaints from pacman. Allan
