[pacman-dev] dependency resolution fails if package exists in different repos/groups

Hi,

this issue somehow looks familiar but before it gets lost I'll post it
here. ATM binutils exists in core and testing. The core package has the
base and the testing one the base-devel group. There is also a versioned
dep from gcc to it.

Now if you try to install both groups (as done in devtools) pacman
fails with 

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gcc: requires binutils>=2.22

You can check for yourself by running "pacman -S --needed base
base-devel"

Greetings,

Pierre
