Can we provide alternatives by means of sets of mutually exclusive link
packages, using package properties that are already supported in pacman?
sh-bash
provides=('sh')
depends=('bash')
conflicts=('sh-dash')
sh-dash
provides=('sh')
depends=('dash')
conflicts=('sh-bash')
bash
depends('sh')
dash
depends('sh')
The circular dependency can only be satisfied at install time if bash is
installed together with sh-bash, or if another sh provider already exists in
the system (e.g. dash and sh-dash).
