Well, this is not a big problem -- just ugly.
Why would I answer no? Because I don't like foo-dependency at all, that's why I
put foo-dependency into IgnorePkg ;-) And I hope that pacman will find an other
(provision) satisfier. So pacman won't fail by default (this was the goal of
55a7455135e2d8f2e118928f634dc7976ab6c8b4).

As I see, I must commit a trivial patch for this...

Bye
