+Subject: [PATCH] sync: filter dependency graph by pkgname, not depends
+
+Before filtering, the dependency graph is in the format:
+
+  $pkgname  $depends    $pkgbase
+
+Since revision 01af4500d77ac1bce6105089603051b4ad554c92, this graph is
+filtered (e.g. by packages already in the local repository) by $depends.
+In some cases, this does not filter all targets.
+
+For example, when uprading r-cli and r-testthat, aur-sync would build 7
+targets instead of 2:
+
+  # cut -f1-3 $tmp/depends
+  ...
+  r-tibble r-vctrs r-tibble
+  r-pillar r-vctrs r-pillar
+  r-vctrs r-vctrs r-vctrs
+  r-vctrs r r-vctrs
+  r-vctrs r-cli r-vctrs
+  r-vctrs r-glue  r-vctrs
+  r-vctrs r-rlang r-vctrs
+  ...
+
+  # after filtering r-vctrs from $2
+  # r-vctrs is still a target!
+  ...
+  r-vctrs r r-vctrs
+  r-vctrs r-cli r-vctrs
+  r-vctrs r-glue  r-vctrs
+  r-vctrs r-rlang r-vctrs
+  ...
