Even worse:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: librcd is required by librcc

There seem troubles with dependency calculation in pacman3.
Also already came up in the mailing lists as well, in combination with logging.

Seems as if somebody has to look over this once again.

Fixed in testing - new rc image soon

This is fixed only partially. :(

This is not fixed.
When fixing this please make sure that it will work with deeper dependency tree too.

Actually, it is fixed. The problem is that your tree (like mine) is corrupt, and has no dep information for alot of that stuff.

I don't understand this.
How it can be corrupted, when before installing taglib-rcc there were no information about taglib-rcc, librcc, enca & librcd in /var/lib/pacman/local ? :-/

When you first installed and removed taglib-rcc, it removed all dep entries from all of its dependencies. So your taglib-rcc, librcc, enca, libxml2, db, and librcd all have no dep entries. The only way this info is going to get put back in full is by reinstalling those packages, or manually fixing it.

In the last case, you are using -Rd, which skips dep checks, so nothing is modified with librcc's dependencies.

It all seems to be working as expected in your case. I'm not sure I see where the problem remains.

I didn't have librcc, enca and librcd installed. I removed them after old tests.
So there were no /var/lib/pacman/local/{librcc,enca,librcd}*/* entries.
I will do another test this night, to be sure.
