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

Good catch. The problem is that compute_download_size() is called from _alpm_sync_prepare() which is omitted in case of -Qu.

Well, in fact with -Qu the download size is 0.00 MB, because we won't download anything ;-)

I understand hwat you said, but i do not think it should be this way. See:

1) If it will not download anything, why show "Total download size"?
2) pacman -Qu wont install anything, but you can see a "Total Installed Size" message (that shows correctly). Following what you said `pacman -Qu` should show: Total Installed Size: 0.00 MB
3) pacman does not show a "Total Removed Size" when there is nothing to remove. Then, why show a total download when it will not download anything?
