hi,

somtimes the installed size information is simply wrong.e

$ pacman -Si thunderbird
Repository     : extra
Name           : thunderbird
Version        : 11.0-1
......
Download Size  : 15409.89 KiB
Installed Size : 7968.00 KiB
Architecture   : x86_64

$ xz -l thunderbird-11.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Strms  Blocks   Compressed Uncompressed  Ratio  Check   Filename
    1       1     15.0 MiB     40.0 MiB  0.376  CRC64
thunderbird-11.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

$ mkdir thunderbird && tar xf thunderbird-11.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz -C
thunderbird && du -sh thunderbird
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.fflags'
41M	thunderbird

the installed size should be around 40M while pacman and the package
website show only about 8M.

best regards,
