Description:
makepkg man page says:
-r, --rmdeps
Upon successful build, remove any dependencies installed by makepkg during dependency auto-resolution and installation when using -s.

But when run with "-r" makepkg always tries to remove something even if there is nothing to remove or removal is not possible.

Steps to reproduce:
situation 1 - no dependencies to remove, makepkg runs pacman with blank argument:
$ cd pkgdir
$ makepkg -sr

situation 2 - no "-s" flag, the same behavior:
$ cd pkgdir
$ makepkg -r

even so:
$ cd /
$ makepkg -r
This task depends upon

Sorry for misuse of re-open functionality but could you at least point me to duplicated bug report and version in which fix will arrive?
