[pacman-dev] [PATCH 2/2] Print warning on removal of indirect optdepend

[Chirantan Ekbote]

Print a warning when a package that satisfies an optional dependency
for another package through its provides array is removed.

Fixes FS#37669

This is the simplest solution, although the downside is that the
warning prints the name of the optdepend rather than the name of the
package being removed.

An alternative solution would be to modify the signature of the event
so that the second parameter is an alpm_pkg_t rather than an
alpm_depend_t.

The best solution would be one where the warning prints the optdepend
as well as the package that satisfies it.  Something like:

:: coffee optionally requires sugar (provided by brown-sugar-1.0-1)

but I don't see a good way of doing this without adding a third
parameter to all events...
