Detailsi've got a package listed as IgnorePkg in pacman.config, and so pacman asks me this question when i do a sysupgrade:
'xine-lib requires libgl-dri, but it is in IgnorePkg. Install anyway? [Y/n]' From reading this i do not know if it's going to install libgl-dri or xine-lib and in my opinion it should state this like so: Install $package anyway? So we know what we're actually deciding on. :) |
This task depends upon

IMO 'xine-lib requires libgl-dri, but it is in IgnorePkg. Install anyway? [Y/n]'
should be
'xine-lib requires libgl-dri, which is in IgnorePkg. Install xine-lib without libgl-dri anyway? [Y/n]'
for the most clearity.
Hence, the frightening uncertainty. That's why it should be a little more explicit.
So it should be
xine-lib requires libgl-dri, which is in IgnorePkg. Install libgl-dri anyway? [Y/n]
