Here is what I show for required by package... why are some of these doubled? Required by broadcom-wl-ck broadcom-wl-ck lirc-ck lirc-ck nvidia-275xx-ck nvidia-275xx-ck nvidia-beta-ck nvidia-ck nvidia-ck r8168-ck r8168-ck vhba-module-ck vhba-module-ck
This is because someone has again uploaded a split package to AUR with this dirty workaround which was posted once by somebody here on the mailing lists or the forums even if AUR and the AUR wrappers like yaourt still don't support split packages. pkgname=linux-ck true && pkgname=(linux-ck linux-ck-headers) Every subpackage has the same dependencies. So AUR lists all of the twice. My suggestion is to either build support for split packages officially into AUR or to patch AUR so that it can detect this dirty workaround and to fully decline split packages. There are other such split packages in AUR which make a lot of problems particularly if such an AUR wrapper is used, because the subpackages can't be recognized and dependencies can't be solved. See also the worst package I've ever seen in this regard and my comments there: indicator-messages (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32052) and its dependencies Heiko
