DetailsDescription:
Hello, guys. I have upgraded Pacman to the new version (see below) from AUR. And I found a bug (I hope it is a program mistake). When you are trying to remove package that is required by another package using option "-Rd" (remove with skipping dependencies), it says that this option is unavailable ("error: invalid option"). Could you please check is there a mistake in a new pacman version or it is new kind of pacman behavior. Cheers, Jack Black. Additional info: * package version(s): Pacman v3.5.1 - libalpm v6.0.1 (this is the version of pacman that I have) The same, but more detailed. I took it from the pacman output.

Reason for closing: Won't fix
Additional comments about closing: Not a bug, use -Rdd, or better yet, stop forcing dependency overrides. You also provided zero output in the "Steps to reproduce" instructions.

To actually remove a package ignoring dependencies, read the man page. You want -Rdd.
