Description:

I ran namcap on a lm_sensors package I'm currently working on. Namcap return that incorrect warning:

lm_sensors W: Dependency included but already satisfied ('rrdtool')

The rrdtool package is not in the dependency tree of the other lm_sensors dependency. So namcap shouldn't have returned that warning.

I also notice that, if I install a lm_sensors package without the rrdtool dependency (although is linked by one of lm_sensors binary), then the incorrect warning is not displayed.

It looks like namcap is using the installed lm_sensors package in its dependency resolution. Please ask if you need more or better explanation.

This task depends upon

BTW, I'm using namcap 3.0.3-1

The rule checking for these was nonsensical since namcap 3.0. It should be fixed with namcap 3.0.5.
