Hi! This is a serious bug I think, since -U is the same as -A if the package wasn't installed earlier. I wrote about this in my previous e-mail: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-April/002610.html (the correct patch can be found here: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-April/002632.html). I repeat this bugreport, because you may have not noticed in my "big" patch and I think this is easy (and needed) to fix: just replace 'if((trans->type != PM_TRANS_TYPE_UPGRADE) && (handle->trans->state != STATE_INTERRUPTED)) {' to 'if(handle->trans->state != STATE_INTERRUPTED) {' in libalpm/add.c Bye, Nagy Gabor
