confusion with PKGBUILD depends
Hi, have a little confusion with the PKGBUILD depends field.
I'm making a PKGBUILD that depends on latex. That is in tetex which is provided by extra/texlive-core. I checked with abs, and it only has the provides=('tetex').
Now, with pacman I can say:
1) pacman -S tetex => chosen provider package, will install texlive-core
2) pacman -S texlive-core => will install texlive core
In the PKGBUILD:
1) depends=('tetex') => yaourt will try to install aur/tetex instead of extra/texlive-core
2) depends=('texlive-core') => makepkg says "Unresolved dependencies" and stops
3) if the user has texlive-core installed, then all fine (of course)
So - how can I force yaourt to install extra/texlive-core???
Thanks for any suggestions in advance!

That is the one you want. makepkg has the "-s" option for installing needed depends from the repo. I'm sure yaourt will have something similar.
