           Summary: Dependencies ignore priority
           Product: WPKG
           Version: 1.0.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

Fix to the above problem

Let packageA depend on packageB.
Let packageB have a *lower* priority than packageA.

Installing packageA tries to install packageB *before* trying to install
packageA. I consider this wrong! (That's the whole point of priorities,
surely.)

Here's a patch to fix it: to install a single package, calculate all the
dependent packages (recursively) and form a list (including the original
package). Sort by priority, then work through the list installing packages. To
synchronize, find the list of packages to be installed, calculate all the
dependent packages (recursively) and form a list (including the original
packages). Sort and install as before.
