[Solved] pacman 3.5.0, --nodeps option did not work anymore

I just updated to pacman 3.5.0, and i cannot install packages without dependency check.

I mean command line like pacman -Sd or pacman -Rd did not work again.

Have a look at the news file and man page:

-d, --nodeps
Skips dependency version checks. Package names are still checked. Normally, pacman will always check a package’s dependency fields to ensure that all dependencies are installed and there are
no package conflicts in the system. Specify this option twice to skip all dependency checks.

Thanks!

Is this means i can not install or remove a package without dependency stuff?

and pacman database changed, i cannot simply change package dependencies, either. so i have to install all the stuff even i know some of them are not necessary? It's a little bit unacceptable.

Read the entire description...

<hint> pacman -Rdd
