Hi,

I have j2re in my IgnorePkg of pacman.conf to keep it on 1.4.2. However, today I tried to install j2sdk 1.5.0 that depends on j2re 1.5.0 and I obtained the latter as well. Somehow I feel that pacman should give me an additional warning about such a situation. Just imagine that the user installs a lot of stuff and the list of all packages is more than one screen long -- some unwanted installs might easily get unnoticed and the user even does not worry -- he knows that he has prevented all the unwanted upgrades with IgnorePkg.
