Maybe it'd be an idea to use a single pkgbase for both packages? I'm pretty sure that would allow other packages to name that as dependency, though I don't know if the current packages are easily migrate-able. But yeah, making libtiff3 the main package would be the least I'd do, especially because it makes more sense as a dependency circle (version 4 relying on version 3 rather than version 3 relying on 4, which looks like an old version relying on a new one). Sincerely, Joost Bremmer We apologize for the inconvenience"
