Description:
If I try to install poppler, I am asked to replace cairo-lcd with cairo. Poppler's dependency, according to its PKGBUILD, is cairo>=1.4.12. cairo-lcd on the other hand, according to its PKGBUILD provides cairo and is of 1.4.12 version, too. Hence, what's the problem, why does pacman complain and want to replace the package?

Steps to reproduce:
Remove poppler, install cairo-lcd (replace cairo if it's been already installed), install poppler.
O
This task depends upon

"is of 1.4.12" - you are assuming, like I did, that $pkgver would be implicit in provides=, but it's not (even though it SHOULD be). See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=42213

Oh, thanks - I didn't find anything on bbs or here on bugzilla before, but this indeed has already been reported.
