Details

Summary and Info:
alpm_pkg_get_{check,make}depends(alpm_pkg_t*) functions in lib/libalpm/alpm.h are supposed to return check & make dependencies for a given package, but don’t (both systematically return an empty linked list).
Patching lib/libalpm/be_sync.c by copying the behavior for depends & optdepends does the job.

You’ll find attached the git diff of the change in question.

The aforementioned patch only works for sync database, not local ones.
Here is a patch to cover both cases.

It also needs to trigger the lazy loading for the local db; see _cache_get_depends. Can you submit an updated (and git formatted) patch to the mailing list?

Ok, does this diff cover it?
