[arch-general] pacman optional package messages on update

Recently there have been some (slightly) confusing output lines running pacman -Syu. This evening I see: New optional dependencies for logrotate cron: scheduled log rotation However: [root@lapmike3 ~]# pacman -Q cron error: package 'cron' was not found But of course: [root@lapmike3 ~]# pacman -Q cronie cronie 1.4.8-3 So presumably I do not need to try to pacman -S cron !! Similarly the other day there was an optional dependency of python3 when in fact presumably the package name is "python" but happens to be version 3? (which for me was already installed) Just a point for clarification - especially for new users who may be a bit confused by the output and take inappropriate action as a result! -- mike c
