Details

A new version of checkgmail, which depends on perl-gtk2-sexy, is broken. I downgrade from that version to a previous version of checkgmail from my cache with -U, which is not built with the sexy depend. However, checkgmail will still link to sexy if it is available, therefore I pacman -R perl-gtk2-sexy and pacman tells me checkgmail depends on it, yet pacman -Qi checkgmail does not show it in depends (and I know it shouldn't)

This should be fixed in GIT- there were some problems with the way pacman formerly handled requiredby entries upon upgrades (and thus downgrades).
