Thanks for the pull. I saw it appeares as XFAIL in the master branch. Is this
enough or should I also file this in the bug tracker [1], so that the issue
will not be forgotten?

If this is the intended way to specify a version range, I don't see any need to
introduce a dedicated syntax. It just has to be ensured that when checking
dependencies, all requirements for a package have to be satisfied by the same
package. Then, the given scenario would be rejected because "pkg1

consider it a bug. Nice find!
The test introduced herein illustrates a behavior that may be unexpected
to package writers.
It creates a package "pkg3" that is configured to depend on a
