Details

If we had a package called x-server, then it would be upgraded/installed before gtk2 because gtk2 depends on x-server. But because we have a package called xfree86 (or xorg), gtk2 is installed/upgraded first.

Have fun with that one.
This task depends upon

Iti's not that big a deal in most cases but if you want this issue gone, we'll prolly have to make pacman check groups, but that may get ugly.

But in the cases where it is a big deal, it's a really big deal.

Couldn't you just track the reason a package was added to the upgrade list and then sort on that field?

I don't think it's related to groups, it's definitely related to provides.

I have a feeling this is a non-issue now that all the x packages are modular. Should this be closed?

Yeah, it probably isn't a problem any more. If it comes up, we can create a new bug.
