With --unneeded option 'pacman -R' doesn't stop in case of dependency error;
it removes the needed-dependency targets from the target-list instead. See
also: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-October/009653.html .
The patch also adds a new causingpkg field to pmdepmissing_t which indicates
the to-be-removed package which would cause a dependency break. This is
needed, because miss->depend.name may be a provision. miss->causingpkg will
be useful in -R dependency error messages too.
[Xavier: renamed inducer to causingpkg, removed the _alpm_pkgname_pkg_cmp
helper function as requested by Aaron. This might be added by a further
commit. Other small cleanups, updated manpage and bash completion.]

The original patch from Nagy tried to resolve target vs target conflicts,
and so broke the following pactests : sync040, sync041 and sync990
Nagy's proposal to solve this situation was to choose the interactive way,
ask the user how to deal with it: either remove pkg1 or remove pkg2 or stop
here. So he left this as a TODO.
But instead of trying to resolve these conflicts or asking the user, I
tried to find a more conservative way, looking at what the current pactests
expected:
If between the two conflicting packages, one provides the other, pacman
will keep that one and remove the other from the target list. That breaks
sync893 and sync897. But Dan agreed these two looked weird and should be
changed.
This commit should close FS#8897, FS#8899 and FS#9024.

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
requires it, and _alpm_dep_free is also private.
Finally the deptest001 pactest was extended.

Change the 'provname provver' format to 'provname=provver'.
In .PKGINFO, the provisions are copied from the PKGBUILD without quotes. So
the provision version was actually handled as a different provision...
See FS#9171.
Dan: Unfortunately we have to change our original specification for
versioned provisions with this patch, but it ends up being the simpler and
cleaner solution in the long run, and if there is any time to change it the
time is now before many packages have been built. Keeping the ' ' based
format would have required us to do special parsing in repo-add, as well as
being susceptible to users not using quotes in their provides array.
Hopefully this will resolve the issues we had with our initial plan. Sorry
for the confusion.

I also changed it for fixing FS#8763 :
if there is exactly one provider, pacman will pull it and print a warning.
if there are several providers, pacman will list them and fail. It's up to
the user to pick one. Add sync501 pactest to reflect that.
The previous fileconflict check (package vs filesystem) skipped the conflict
when the file on the filesystem was a directory or a symlink to a directory,
no matter what the file in the package was.
Now, the conflict will only be skipped if the file in the package is a
directory (so compatible with a dir or a dir symlink on the filesystem).
So in the case of 8156 (new fileconflict003 pactest for this case), instead
of silently ignoring the extraction of the test symlink, pacman will now
fail because of a file conflict between the test symlink in the pkg2 package
and the test directory on the filesystem.
Signed-off-by: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com>
Trying to make a symlink at the top level previously made pactest fail.
For example : "test -> test2/" as a file in a package.
The path to the test symlink was empty in this case, but the python code
still tried to chdir in "", which failed.

This was the case of the bash packaging error where a file was removed from
the package but not the backup array.
I just added a sanity check so that only the files from the backup array
that are also in the filelist are used.
I had to edit upgrade026 pactest slightly : it required the file to be
copied to .pacsave instead of moved. But just moving it should be enough, as
we agreed on the ML :

This is something pacman can do on its own straight from the archive, and we
will reduce the chance of problems occurring becuase of inproper FILELIST
generation as we have had in the past with special characters in filenames.
Once we remove it from makepkg. we can remove any usage of it from all of
our other tools, including pacman, pactest, and contrib/ utilities.
Note that removing it from pacman uncovered a few other bugs anyway, so this
was probably a good move.

As seen with the recent upgrade of pacman and the removal of the
pacman.d/current mirrorlist, files that were formerly in the backup array
get deleted upon their removal, which could be dangerous. Instead, we should
use the combined backup array of the old and new package. This fix should
address this issue in a relatively straightforward way.
In addition, old files should be moved to pacsave locations as expected.
