When installing or removing multiple packages with pacman and the first one is not found, pacman will show an error and stop. I want an option for pacman to skip the unfound package and continue with the rest.
This task depends upon

So what happens if this finds a library upgrade with a soname change but none of the packages rebuild for that change? Broken systems...

Could that happen if you're just installing a package (not upgrading)?

My scenario is for installing or removing programs. For example pacman -S qt4 mplayer. There is no package qt4 but I want to continue install mplayer. Or maybe Im removing packages and one of them is already uninstalled.
