here is a patch for that: http://darcs.frugalware.org/darcsweb/darcsweb.cgi?r=pacman;a=plain_commitdif...;

This patch is fixing outputs at the frontend level, but IMO, that's not enough. If I look at code more closely at pacman 2.9.8 code, there are several chunks of code enclosed by the "if(!downloadonly) { ... }" statement which does not exist in the cvs code. Basically, in sync_prepare, the "checkconflict" part should not be performed. Idea: when should maybe split the code chunk in sync_prepare dealing with deps and conflicts within the "if(!FLAG_NODEPS) { ... }" block in two parts: if(!FLAG_NODEPS) { checkdeps... } if(!FLAG_NOCONFLICT) { checkconflict... } with FLAG_NOCONFLICT being a new flag, that the frontend should force when running "-Sw" in order to bypass all the conflicts checking.
