Details
Pacman doesn't show information when trying to install a
package that has multiple providers when we specify the
version of the package.
Pacman v4.1.1 Expected: Same as "pacman -S libgl". <code> :: There are 3 providers available for libgl: :: Repository extra 1) mesa-libgl 2) nvidia-304xx-utils 3) nvidia-libgl Enter a number (default=1): </code> Got: <code> pacman -S libgl>=1.0.0 Enter a number (default=1): </code> I sincerely apologise if this is a duplicate but I have searched. |

I do think though that pacman shouldn't be offering me a choice if it gets garbage in and instead say "error: no targets specified (use -h for help)" or "error: target not found:". Perhaps this is a separate usability issue though.
