Hi Magnus,
Once package FOO is installed, and linked to local versions of its dependencies, there is not much we can do to prevent that an update to FOO's dependencies breaks the *local* system if it's upgraded.
Why can't we bump $pkgrel of those packages that depend on FOO?
Um, sorry, I was confused for a moment. I meant to say, of course, why can't we bump the $pkgrel of FOO whenever one of its dependencies is updated? Wouldn't that remedy this problem?
Yes, that slipped my mind. Of course we can do that, and it'd fix the problem. It hasn't been done in the past though. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
