Any reason the patch seems to have double line spacing?
By the way, creating a patch with GIT is pretty simple and formats it quite nicely without having to struggle with diff options. Sorry, I have no net at home, no git/any useable app here (this is a windows machine). Probably this stupid webmail client inserted extra lines, sorry, please delete them (I can compress them + resend, if needed)
ah too bad, I find it pretty hard to read the patch with these extra new lines.
Back to pacman: There is a problem with the old/new resolvedeps: this is not deterministic (multiple provision) and sometimes one choice is better than an other one: for example "choice A" induces a package conflict, and choice B would solve the problem and would install the required package (and its dependencies) but pacman is not clever enough to find "choice B"... Bye, ngaba
I guess this is a reference to : 628 /*TODO this autoresolves the first 'provides' package... we should fix this 629 * somehow */ Looks like pacman could indeed be smarter in the case you describe :)
