Hi,

With pacman 3.5.1 from [testing] I get this:

pacman -Rd mimeo
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: obfilebrowser: requires mimeo>=2011.03.12

(tested with "--nodeps" too, just in case)

I couldn't find anything about this on the bugtracker but I may be looking in
the wrong place. If this is an unknown bug, please tell me where I should report
it, if not here.

Regards,
Xyne

The behavior of -d has changed. -d now ignore the version part and -dd
also ignores the package name itself. (See manpage)

Ok, thanks.

Btw, is there any convenient way to downgrade to pacman 3.4 from 3.5, i.e. a way to reverse the changes to the local database?

No, or at least none that we are going to support. You can hack around
with depends -> desc symlinks but all bets are off at that point...
