Hi,

I've just done a few tests messing with package dependencies and found an error in the dependency chain handling.

This is how my dependencies chain looks like:

"QuickTime Alternative" depends on "Real Alternative"
"Real Alternative" depends on "PuTTY"
"PuTTY" depends on "Codec Pack"
"Codec Pack" depends on "Firefox"
"Firefox" depends on "IrfanView"

Now i add "QuickTime Alternative" to the profile and restart the machine. An this is how WPKG installs the packages:
1. "Real Alternative"
2. "PuTTY"
3. "Codec Pack"
4. "Firefox"
5. "IrfanView"
6. "QuickTime Alternative"

This is somehow not the way I'd expect the dependencies to work. I'd expect to see it work like this:

1. "IrfanView"
2. "Firefox"
3. "Codec Pack"
4. "PuTTY"
5. "Real Alternative"
6. "QuickTime Alternative"

Thoughts?
