Description:
The package uzbl-browser depends on dmenu>=4.0. Though uzbl and dmenu are both good pieces of software, this dependency is unnecessary and uzbl-browser will work perfectly fine without dmenu. Furthermore, if the user does not want dmenu but for example AUR's dmenu-vertical instead, since the package dmenu-vertical does not provide 'dmenu=4.0' but 'dmenu', pacman considers the dependency as not satisfied. And thus it requires tweaking of dmenu-vertical's PKGBUILD (annoying when one knows this dependency was not originally needed). This has been confirmed as a bug on irc/#uzbl. |
