I just noticed that local depends are read even when installing a new
package (not upgrading an old one). Why is this for?
How about this example:
pacman -S foo, foo replaces=bar and provides=bar, installed package baz
depends on foo>=2.0.
This should fail as bar only provides foo and so it is unknown whether
the foo>=2.0 dependency for baz is solved.
