New subject: [pacman-dev] [PATCH] deps.c: check for indirect deps when ordering

18 May 2013

On upgrades, indirect dependencies were not being detected if there was
a dependency in between them that was not part of the transaction.  For
example, with the dependency chain: pkg1 -> pkg2 -> pkg3, if pkg1 and
pkg3 are being upgraded but not pkg2 pacman would not order pkg1 and
pkg3 properly.

This was particularly problematic when replacements were involved
because the replaced package(s) would be removed at the start of the
transaction.  If an install script required the replacer and lacked
a direct dependency, it could fail.

Fixes FS#32764.

Partially fixes FS#23011.

The need to keep state in order to avoid getting stuck in cyclic dependencies
makes this a little ugly (hence the wrapper function).  If anybody has a better
idea for avoiding those loops, I'd love to clean it up.
