Re: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] Suppress repeated dependency resolving error messages

When hitting an unresolvable dependency, pacman will output a message like:

warning: cannot resolve "glibc>=1.0-2", a dependency of "gcc-libs"

This currently is repeated every time the package with the unresolvable dependency is seen during dependency resolution. Limit this to printing the output once.

I'm cancelling this patch. It suppresses any warning for a package not directly pulled in. That is fine for a full upgrade operation, but not when there is an error down the dependency chain of an individual package install. Allan
