Hi! I think at least the test files should be added mentioned in these patches... In my opinion this is a serious bug: pacman fails in case of multiple package update when an old satisfied depend "disappear" as shown in my .py file. You may think, that is rare, but I show here an other example as a motivation ;-): ==upgrade061.py== self.description = "Try to upgrade 2 packages which would break deps" lp1 = pmpkg("pkg1", "1.0-1") lp1.depends = ["imaginary"] self.addpkg2db("local", lp1) lp2 = pmpkg("pkg2", "1.0-1") lp2.requiredby = [ "pkg1" ] lp2.provides = ["imaginary"] self.addpkg2db("local", lp2) p1 = pmpkg("pkg1", "1.0-2") p1.depends = ["imaginary"] self.addpkg(p1) p2 = pmpkg("pkg2", "1.0-2") self.addpkg(p2) self.args = "-U %s" % " ".join([p.filename() for p in p1, p2]) self.addrule("PACMAN_RETCODE=1") self.addrule("PKG_VERSION=pkg1|1.0-1") self.addrule("PKG_VERSION=pkg2|1.0-1")
