Arch Linux

Is this dependency only needed for the scriptlet?
In this case, what about just fixing the scriptlet and removing this dep, which would help us getting rid of one dep cycle in core?

old scriptlet :
------------------------------------
# This is a default template for a post-install scriptlet. You can
# remove any functions you don't need (and this header).

# arg 1: the new package version
# arg 2: the old package version
pre_upgrade() {
/bin/true
}

# arg 1: the new package version
# arg 2: the old package version
post_upgrade() {
echo "ATTENTION DB PACKAGE:"
echo "Please consider to run db_upgrade on Berkeley DB databases with a major db version number update."
}

# arg 1: the old package version
pre_remove() {
/bin/true
}

# arg 1: the old package version
post_remove() {
/bin/true
}

$op $*
