Print a warning when a package that satisfies an optional dependency for another package through its provides array is removed. Fixes FS#37669 Signed-off-by: Chirantan Ekbote <chirantan.ekbote@gmail.com> --- This is the simplest solution, although the downside is that the warning prints the name of the optdepend rather than the name of the package being removed. An alternative solution would be to modify the signature of the event so that the second parameter is an alpm_pkg_t rather than an alpm_depend_t. The best solution would be one where the warning prints the optdepend as well as the package that satisfies it. Something like: :: coffee optionally requires sugar (provided by brown-sugar-1.0-1) but I don't see a good way of doing this without adding a third parameter to all events... lib/libalpm/remove.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/lib/libalpm/remove.c b/lib/libalpm/remove.c index 9417a61..b3d1f1d 100644 --- a/lib/libalpm/remove.c +++ b/lib/libalpm/remove.c @@ -178,7 +178,7 @@ static void remove_notify_needed_optdepends(alpm_handle_t *handle, alpm_list_t * alpm_list_t *j; for(j = optdeps; j; j = alpm_list_next(j)) { alpm_depend_t *optdep = j->data; - if(alpm_pkg_find(lp, optdep->name)) { + if(alpm_find_satisfier(lp, optdep->name)) { EVENT(handle, ALPM_EVENT_OPTDEP_REQUIRED, pkg, optdep); } } -- 1.8.5.1
