Largely legacy warning as pacman now supports hooks.  The ordering between tesseract  and the package providing tessdata in this instance tesseract-data-afr is irrelevant.

Re: zathura

No tesseract-data-afr depends on tesseract and tesseract depends on tesssdata which is provided by tesseract-data-afr so there is a cyclic dependency between those two packages.  Both packages are installed in the same transaction so no missing dependency.

What are hooks?

See alpm-hooks.5 for details.  In simple terms they are scripts that run before or after all packages have been installed so the installation order of packages in the same transaction does not matter to something run in a hook.

Re: zathura

Okay thank you I will go read that.

I thought that something might have been wrong, with the package size being to big, thanks.
