This patch offers a way to fix FS#9228.
By putting "SyncFirst = pacman" in pacman.conf, the version check will
happen before the transaction really starts, and before any replacements is
made.
Otherwise, no version check is done.
The sync301 pactest was updated to use this SyncFirst option.
Example session with SyncFirst = pacman, and a newer pacman version
available :
$ pacman -Su (or pacman -S <any targets>)
:: the following packages should be upgraded first :
pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n]
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
Targets: pacman-x.y.z-t
Total Download Size: x.xx MB
Total Installed Size: x.xx MB
Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n
As Nagy previously noted, doing this check on any -S operations might look
intrusive, but it can be required.
For example, the case where you want to install a package with versioned
provisions, using a pacman version which didn't support that feature yet
(and there is already a newer pacman in sync db supporting it).

Using the graph structures that Nagy set up for dependency sorting, we now
do a similar process for deltas. Load up all of the deltas into a graph
object on which we can then apply Dijkstra's algorithm, using the new weight
field of graph struct.
We initialize the nodes weight using the base files that we can use in our
filecache (both filename and md5sum must match). The algorithm then picks
the best path among those that can be resolved.
Note that this algorithm has a few advantages over the old one:
1. It is completely file agnostic. These delta chains do not have to consist
of package files- this could be adopted to do delta-fied DBs.
2. It does not use the local_db anymore, or even care if a package or file
is currently installed. Instead, it only looks in the filecache for files
and packages that match delta chain entries.

As it was already mentioned several times, the new -Sc behavior in 3.1 is
great, but only when the package cache is not shared.
This option has two possible values : KeepInstalled and KeepCurrent
With KeepCurrent, -Sc will clean packages that are no longer available in
any sync db, rather than packages that are no longer in the local db. The
resulting behavior should be better for shared cache.

Now that we have a Chinese translation, all of the problems with new
character sets crop up. Assumptions were made in the past that all
characters occupied one column, which is not true with a Chinese character
set. In addition, the download code even failed on such things as 'ö', which
is two bytes wide but only 1 column.
This code will need to also be ported to the add/remove/upgrade/conflicts
progress printouts.
Note that the tests below try to incorporate a number of things:
1. download filenames too long to fit
2. download filenames cut off in the middle of a multibyte sequence
3. download filenames incorporating multicolumn chars
4. download filenames incorporating multibyte, single-column chars
5. 'plain' download filenames that have always worked

The deptest code (pacman -T) used by makepkg was mostly in the frontend.
There were 2 drawbacks:
1) the public splitdep function returns a pmdepend_t struct, but the
_alpm_dep_free function for freeing it is private. So there was a memleak.
2) there is a helper in the backend (satisfycmp in deps.c) which makes this
function much easier.
So this adds a new public alpm_deptest in libalpm/deps.c, which cleans
pacman_deptest in pacman/deptest.c a lot.
Besides, alpm_splitdep was made private, because the frontend no longer

It is buffered by the frontend, so programs using the library can read as

This fixes the output issue related to the progress bar by delaying the
output. We can decide later (post-release) if we like this method or we want
to switch to something else.

This should simplify our output a bit when it comes to determining whether
or not we need a newline in our output. A "done" message was almost always
immediately followed by another start message anyway (or some other output),
so it really isn't necessary.

When a DB is "registered" in libalpm, it goes and tries to create paths and
other BS which is stupid, but a pain in the butt to fix. For now, work
around this terrible behavior by ensuring our paths are always set before we
call any alpm_db_register function.
