[pacman-dev] [patch] alpm_splitdep overwrites input string

[Xavier]

Nice catch, thanks a lot.

But while sync300 now pass, what the code does looks still odd.
It first calls resolvedeps, which calls checkdeps. This returns the
missing dependency pkg2=1.1 .
But for resolving it, resolvedeps pull pkg2 1.0 , without checking the version.

However, checkdeps is called again after resolvedeps, which now finds
the problem that pkg1 depends on pkg2=1.1 which isn't available.
Before you fixed that bug in splitdep, it changed the pkg2=1.1
dependency into pkg2 the first time checkdeps was called. So it didn't
find the problem the second time.

As you said the first time you described the problem, resolvedeps
should probably checks version too, when it tries to resolve the
missing dependencies.
