Idézés Chantry Xavier :

The fallback on providers when a target is not found was already made in the backend : libalpm/sync.c , _alpm_sync_addtarget . So I removed it from the frontend.

The sync500 pactest proves this fallback still works correctly.

Hmm. Good catch. However, personally I would clean-up libalpm instead of the front-end. The front-end should know what he wants. In the future we may add -Sg -S'provision' options and so on. In other words, the backend should be as much flexible as possible. Thus I'd prefer the following: method 1.: add sync_addtargetpkg, sync_addtargetgrp and so on to libalpm method 2.: keep the current method, but give an option to front-end (through trans flags) to tell libalpm what he wants.
