Details

Pacman removes packages depending on eachother in the wrong order. This causes various postinstall scripts to fail:

[jan@server ~]$ sudo pacman -Rc gconf

Targets: gconf gnome-vfs gconfmm gnome-vfsmm gtodo libgsf

Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n]
removing gconf... done.
removing gnome-vfs... done.
removing gconfmm... done.
removing gnome-vfsmm... done.
removing gtodo... /var/lib/pacman/local/gtodo-0.14-2/install: line 19: opt/gnome/bin/gconftool-2: No such file or directory
/var/lib/pacman/local/gtodo-0.14-2/install: line 23: opt/gnome/bin/gconftool-2: No such file or directory
done.
removing libgsf... done.

It should only remove gconf when all packages depending on it are gone from the system.
