When pacman fails to satisfy deps, we might see output like the following:

This is misleading -- the only truly missing package is python-pygexf, but we fail to remove sync-able deps from our deplist and report everything as if it were missing. Simply drop this extra reporting because pacman already tells us exactly what couldn't be resolved. ---
It seems this went too far:
Before:
$ makepkg ==> Making package: pacman 5.2.1-4 (Tue 17 Mar 2020 14:05:51) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Missing dependencies: -> pacman-mirrorlist ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.
After:
$ makepkg ==> Making package: pacman 5.2.1-4 (Tue 17 Mar 2020 14:01:13) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.
I have reverted on my patchqueue branch for the time being, but won't push to master. I need more time to look at this...
Allan Hrm, the idea here was to rely on handle_deps running pacman -S and returning pacman's own error messages. But if -s is not invoked, then we do still need to print it ourselves.
Actually, thinking about this I'm not even sure I understand the patch in the first place. We're dealing with two errors here: one from pacman, saying it could not find the sync'able dependency, and one from makepkg, saying that due to pacman aborting, all of these packages are missing. Where it might make a difference is if the user reads the error message from makepkg -s: ==> Installing missing dependencies... error: target not found: foo ==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies. ==> Missing dependencies: -> bar -> foo And following that logic, goes and installs pacman -U ./something-which provides foo, plus pacman -S bar, and then runs makepkg without -s With this commit, they only install foo, then makepkg fails again due to bar being missing. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
