Details

If a package listed explicitly for syncing (i.e. `pacman -S foo bar baz`) is also ignored (via IgnorePkg, IgnoreGroup, or "--ignore"), AND if the user says no when he is asked if he wants to install it anyway, the following error is given and pacman quits immediately:
error: '<name_of_package>': could not find or read package

I know it's an illogical situation, but it's a bug anyway.

Attachment shows output of `pacman -S dash --ignore dash --debug`.

(This doesn't seem to happen with dependancies, or when doing -Su.)
(There's a different bug with group installations:  FS#19854 )
   pmdebug (5 KiB)
This task depends upon

I have a fix for this that will be sent to the ML shortly.

Is fixed on the maint branch so will be in 3.4.1

> sudo src/pacman/pacman -S dash --ignore dash
:: dash is in IgnorePkg/IgnoreGroup. Install anyway? [Y/n] n
warning: skipping target: dash
there is nothing to do
