Details

Description:

pacman 3.5 does not erase any package permitting ignore dependencies like pacman 3.4

#pacman -Rd udev, for example, not permited, dependencies etc etc etc.

But if you run pacman -Ud package-minor-version yes, only ignore dependencies and permit a downgrade in this way, version 3.4 #pacman -Rd any.package and pacman -U any.package (tipical downgrade, udev in my case)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.

pacman 3.5.1-1

Steps to reproduce:

Any pkg tried to remove with pacman 3.5 do not allow to ignore dependencies (-Rd), only install a newer or older version -Ud
This task depends upon
