This is a different problem. Bash 3 only had "readline" as a dependency, 
now the new readline package fulfills that. Now another package had 
"readline>=6" as a dependency, readline 6 was pulled, but pacman thought 
that bash 3 was okay (as it only has a "readline" dep).

Solutions for this are not that easy, we might make packages provide 
certain sonames and make other packages depend on those, but this will 
only solve the problem for new packages.
