depends files are read in order to ensure that the upgraded package won't break any "old" dependencies.
Example: local foo requires bar=2.0 (which is installed) Then "pacman -S bar" is not allowed (if bar in sync has different version).
I just noticed that local depends are read even when installing a new package (not upgrading an old one). Why is this for?
By debugging I found one more reason: Conflict checking. %CONFLICTS% field is also stored in depends file. Bye
