Details

If you install alsa-oss and then try to remove it with -Rscn, pacman will ask to uninstall glibc, alsa-lib, and alsa-oss, and no other packages, <i>even if there are other packages installed that depend on glibc and alsa-lib.<i> The fatal removal of glibc can of course be avoided easily enough, but this really shouldn't happen, since -Rscn should remove reverse-dependencies of dependencies (a very very very long list for glibc), and also because -s isn't supposed to remove explicitly installed packages like glibc.
This task depends upon

Seems like this is not valid anymore:

[vegai@kontu ~]$ sudo pacman -Rscn alsa-oss

Targets: alsa-oss

Do you want to remove these packages? [Y/n]
removing alsa-oss... done.
[vegai@kontu ~]$
