Details
Summary and Info:
If package installation is skipped because of "--needed", it is not marked as dependency "--asdeps" (I guess, "--asexplicit" has the same issue). Either mention this in the man page or make --asdeps work also for skipped packages. |
This task depends upon
--needed
Do not reinstall the targets that are already up-to-date.
Also, the output shows the packages dropped by needed never being touched.
