Eheh, I replied exactly the same with -Sw :) But it's a corner case indeed.

Note that the previous behavior (just before my patch) was a bit strange :
-S <pkgname> looked at IgnorePkg only if pkgname was already locally installed.

I checked the man page, this is the doc for IgnorePkg , in pacman.conf :
IgnorePkg = package ...
Instructs pacman to ignore any upgrades for this package when performing
a --sysupgrade.

And well, I think thats the only case where IgnorePkg / --ignore usage makes
sense anyway.

That's also the advantage I saw in this patch, after the perl package
problem.
