Problem with the OAuth / oauth_common dependency

Not sure what can be done about this because the OAuth project was poorly named. Maybe this might help?

I suggest we do nothing. This module is not the only one seeing this problem.

Had a look into https://github.com/drush-ops/drush/blob/master/commands/pm/pm.drush.inc

'resolve-dependencies' => 'Attempt to download any missing dependencies. At the moment, only works when the module name is the same as the project name.',

It's more of a core Drupal limitation than a problem with Drush: #2205271: Project namespace for dependencies

Ah thanks :) Should we put this issue to 'postponed' until there is working D7 backported?

I'm not sure the issue will be resolved for D7, I think we could do a workaround until then. Would you mind giving the patch a try? Thanks.

No big difference running from drush.

I finally tested this, and yes, it doesn't work. The reason for this is that hook_requirements() is ran after the info file's dependencies are tested, so we could either remove the line from the info file and use the patch or just deal with it :-\

This patch updates the instructions in README.txt to note the module name conflict.

What does this sentence actually mean?

Why do you not think the core issue will be fixed for D7? It is tagged with a "needs backport" and found nothing in the comments it that indicate that I will not be back ported.

Committed. I removed the line from the 7.x branches and rewrote it for the 6.x branch so it actually made sense.
