Hi, I recently added --needed to pacman's invocation in mkosi but noticed that even when --needed is specified, pacman still prints warning messages for packages that it's skipping because they are already installed. My intuition was that by enabling --needed, I was explicitly telling pacman that there might be packages that are already installed in the packages that I'm installing and that I want to skip those and not be warned about them. The skipping works fine but I still get warnings. Would it make sense to remove the skipped warning message for packages that are already installed when --needed is specified since the user is explicitly requesting this behavior? Cheers, Daan
