--always_edit is ignored when solution cannot be found #249

Closed ngdio closed 6 years ago

ngdio commented 6 years ago

Description

When I'm trying to fix a package conflict by editing the source files, --always_edit is ignored because aurman quits after failing to find a solution.

Expected Behavior

aurman should allow editing files of the given package before calculating the dependencies.

Current Behavior

aurman quits before allowing to edit files because no solution could be found.

Possible Solution

It should be possible to edit the source files of the first package before dependencies are calculated.

Version of aurman you are using

2.17.7-1

Content of aurman config

/

Steps to Reproduce

  2. Try to install ffmpeg-libfdk_aac

That's kinda childish.

Not really possible, because the packages from the solution are being shown to the user. There are no packages to show, when not finding a solution. Btw: If it is about a dependency problem, changing them in the PKGBUILD does not work, aurman uses the AUR RPC for dependency resolution.
