[arch-general] getting updates for offline computer

[Lieven Moors]

Hi,

I'm using the internet connection at home to update a computer without internet. 
I use a script to get the updates for the offline computer, and to install them 
on that computer. To get a list of updated packages on the offline computer, I use 
the command: 
   
pacman -Sup --noconfirm

Recently the package webkitgtk3 was moved to webkitgtk. But in the
process, it also pulls in a new dependency harfbuzz-icu.
No when I use the command above against the new sync database,
harfbuzz-icu is not present in the list of packages.

My question is, whether this would be considered a bug in pacman,
or if this would be an expected limitation. Or maybe there is something 
else I don't understand... 

Thanks for your help,
