[pacman-dev] "pacman -Rd" still checks deps
Hi, With pacman 3.5.1 from [testing] I get this: pacman -Rd mimeo checking dependencies... error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: obfilebrowser: requires mimeo>=2011.03.12 (tested with "--nodeps" too, just in case) I couldn't find anything about this on the bugtracker but I may be looking in the wrong place. If this is an unknown bug, please tell me where I should report it, if not here. Regards, Xyne

The behavior of -d has changed. -d now ignore the version part and -dd also ignores the package name itself. (See manpage) -- Florian Pritz -- {flo,bluewind}@server-speed.net

Ok, thanks. Btw, is there any convenient way to downgrade to pacman 3.4 from 3.5, i.e. a way to reverse the changes to the local database?

No, or at least none that we are going to support. You can hack around with depends -> desc symlinks but all bets are off at that point... -Dan
