I think this was fixed in CVS? Can you confirm, Aaron? But according
to the logs, this was fixed in RC2. (lib/libalpm/deps.c)

* Fixed an error with 'cascade' removal due to creation of a new pmpkg_t struct
  (and thus not copying pertinent data w.r.t. reading package files)

And guys, when you tell us a bug- PLEASE tell us what version you are
using as best you can. RC1, RC2, CVS compiled on this date,etc.
