pacman does not show the correctly total download size. Also, the
result is different from pacman -Su.

Example:

# pacman -Qu

pacman -Qu gives me 0MB, while pacman -Su shows almost 50MB

Both shows the same Total Installed Size, tought.

Im using the lastest pacman:

# pacman -Q pacman
pacman 3.2.1-1
