Re: Ordering

Hi,

	This may not be relevant to deity, but I thought I would
 mention this here just in case. (Does deity notice when a package
 provided by an installed package is going away? I'm pretty sure it
 does, since I think Jason looks for all this, but ...)

	Another day, another exception. Roman says:
 I've again discovered another special case... (Won't that ever stop?
 :-)

 I've seen this with the new e2fslibsg package, which doesn't provide
 ss2g anymore (that's a separate package now). pkg-order didn't detect
 that ss2g has to be installed, too, for dependencies of e2fsprogsg.
 Here is my test case:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
installed:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package: e2fslibsg
Version: 1.10-10
Provides: ss2g, ext2fs2g, e2p2g, uuid1g
Depends: comerr2g, libc6
Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<= 1.10-7)

Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.10-10
Depends: comerr2g, e2fslibsg, libc6
Conflicts: e2fsprogsg

Package: comerr2g
Version: 1.10-10
Depends: libc6
Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<< 1.10-6), comerr2

Package: libc6
Version: 2.0.7pre1-1
Pre-Depends: ldso (>= 1.8.10-1)
