Hi!
Here a small fix to patchIII (apply it first plz).
I noticed that you use depmiss here in an unusual way (why?) [Anyway, in
the non-patched pacman the debug-log message found in this patch is
"swapped"].

Some other notes for dependency error messages (these can be found in
pacman/add.c remove.c ...):
See upgrade052.py:
User says: pacman -U pkg2
pacman says: pkg1 requires imaginary
Hm. This is not very informative to the user.
"After the transaction the following dependencies would become
broken: ... " (just smaller and not Hunglish ;-) would be better imho.

Bye, ngaba
PS: sync895.py: As I see, the glitch is in sync.c; as I debugged it
doesn't correctly "copies" the package to the removal list (probably
forgets about provides for example). The modified deps.c works
correctly if I want to remove the replaced package by hand. But this
fix is up to you ;-P
