Details

Description:
When installing a test in the phoronix-test-suite, it installs dependencies for that particular test, but explicitly so they are not marked for automatic removal when phoronix-test-suite is removed.

For instance:
# phoronix-test-suite install nexuiz
(To install a nexuiz benchmark test)

This installs sdl, sdl_net, sdl_gfx, sdl_img, sdl_ttf, openal, glew, scons, and ftjam. I had sdl, sdl_image, and sdl_ttf installed previously as dependencies and they remained marked as such. The others, when passed with a pacman -Qi, would be listed as explicitly installed.

Now I'm a guy who likes to keep his system free of clutter and under control, so this is a rather annoying occurrance to say the least.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
phoronix-test-suite 1.8.0-1

* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:
Install phoronix-test-suite. Install a test with:
# phoronix-test-suite install <test>
Dependencies install explicitly.
This task depends upon
