Hi!

# pacman -S ttf-ms-fonts
warning: ttf-ms-fonts-2.0-1 is up to date -- reinstalling

It was asking user for confirmation before which I think was logical,
because if user just forgot he/she has this package installed - this
would allow to avoid creating of unnecessary .pacnew files.

Either I missed this change or forgot about it.
Could someone enlighten me why this was done?
