Hi,
I am not sure if this is a bug or missing feature; so I sent this to the ml first.
Sometime a package depends on a "meta" package which is provided by more than one packages. For example "libgl" or "smtp-server". At the moment pacman just installs the first package it founds which is the wrong decision for most cases.
Right, this is the current way pacman2 does it. It's harder to do and I think it's either in a TODO in the code, or on my TODO.aaron list. Not sure, but it's planned.
