If this is the intended way to specify a version range, I don't see any need to
introduce a dedicated syntax. It just has to be ensured that when checking
dependencies, all requirements for a package have to be satisfied by the same
package. Then, the given scenario would be rejected because "pkg1" providing
"dependency=5" meets "dependency<=4", but "dependency>=3" is only met by "pkg2"
providing "dependency=2", which are not the same.
Unfortunately, I lack proper knowledge of the libalpm code responsible for this
to offhandedly implement a solution.
