[ngaba at Arch pacman]$ LANG=C sudo pacman -Su

[ngaba at Arch pacman]$ LANG=C pacman -Qi firefox
Name           : firefox
Version        : 3.0-2
...

Hm. What's this?
[ngaba at Arch pacman]$ LANG=C sudo pacman -Su --debug | grep firefox
[12:20:47] debug: new version of 'firefox' found (3.0-2 => 3.0.1-1)
[12:20:47] debug: package 'firefox' not found in sync
...

Aha. We should somehow inform the user about the selected packages.
Btw, these --debug messages are also odd, (instead of 'firefox' not
found in sync (== target list), we should say adding firefox to the
target list).

Bye
