The exim package lists db>=4.8 as a dependency. The correct dependency listing is probably db>=5.1

Steps to reproduce:
My system broke on upgrade because the mirror didn't contain the latest db package yet, but it pulled the newest exim (which didn't have the right dependency set).

what do you say here is false. it can't happen anymore that a mirror not do have the packages.

you broke your system when you did a partial upgrade.

I guess that's possible. All I did was a "pacman -Syu"

That still doesn't change the fact that the dependency seems incorrect. When it was in the broken state, exim explicitly complained that it couldn't find the db-5.1 library. So it seems to be pretty dependent on db>=5.1 and not db>=4.8.

one can argue that the versioned dependencies should be removed. I think that's the best solution
