The package in the sync database, which is a different database record
than the package in the local (installed) database, will still contain
the replaces entry and will therefore act as a replacement.

Meanwhile, replaces don't even do what a lot of people seem to think.
They're only ever read from sync databases, they're only ever accounted
for in an -Su operation, and the field is completely inert in either an
installed package or a *.pkg.tar.xz file.
