Detailspacman should have a option -check "pacman -check" ( like in apt-get )
This option would check if there are any broken dependencies in all packages installed on the system. apt already has this, not sure about rpm. |

(Note to anyone else that may close it- add it to the 3.1 issue catcher too)
It used to check broken requiredby and broken dependencies, and now, it only looks for broken dependencies.
There was still a discussion to reintroduce this as a pacman option though.
This might make the code easier to extend, for example with conflicts checking :
check that there aren't two packages locally installed that conflict with each other.
In any cases, this feature will stay available, so this can be closed.
