DetailsReplaces only works on a currently installed system. It doesn't handle deps properly in other cases.
A good example is the current libmad replace mad situation. If you already have something like libmad and gst-plugins installed, remove them with pacman -Rd. Then type 'pacman -S gst-plugins'. You get a missing depend 'mad'. Even though libmad replaces mad it's not picked up unless the packages are already installed. Possible solutions: 1) Fix the code to do replaces substitution for just about every step. 2) Fix the package to depend on libmad ;o) |
This task depends upon

Yea, it would be a lot of work to get pacman updating it's repositories for replaces. I think that's better left in human hands for now.
