lol, of course, it looks so obvious after you said it, yet I didn't 
think about that at all. Thanks :)
With -d, the packages are not sorted, and new dep like klibc-kbd are not 
pulled. What a stupid option. Maybe pacman should print a warning when 
it's being used, to prevent accidental use, and also to make everyone 
aware that it's not safe at all.
