Re: [pacman-dev] pacman should ask the user on multipile choices

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.

So pacman has to ask the user in such cases.

IIRC there was a FR in Flyspray, but I can't find it though. Or maybe it was discussed in ML. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
