Hm. What's this? [ngaba@Arch pacman]$ LANG=C sudo pacman -Su --debug | grep firefox [12:20:47] debug: new version of 'firefox' found (3.0-2 => 3.0.1-1) [12:20:47] debug: package 'firefox' not found in sync ...
Aha. We should somehow inform the user about the selected packages. Btw, these --debug messages are also odd, (instead of 'firefox' not found in sync (== target list), we should say adding firefox to the target list).
Some notes:
0. We are in string freeze :-/ Debug messages aren't translated, so change these all you want.
1. Maybe we should introduce PM_LOG_INFO, alpm cannot send a simple message (which is not warning, error or debug). 2. I couldn't find any rule for displaying '::' or not... That is manually output. I've never completely understood it. In this case, it is really an error, so I'm not sure why we don't use that.
