Try to remove it and install back.
Anyway: Can we get it for installing no matter if it's a new install or reinstallation?
[karol@black ~]$ sp -Qi tumbler | grep "Optional Deps"
Optional Deps : ffmpegthumbnailer: for video thunbnails
Imagine that I install thunar as a part of XFCE4. It uses an optional dependency: thunar-thumbnailers. After some time it gets obsoleted and the `tumbler' is recommended for this purpose. Of course: for fresh thunar install I'll get the message about a new dependency. But if I have XFCE4 and thunar as a part of it (no fresh install but reinstallation possible) I'll miss this dependency change (unless I check 'pacman -Qi' results on all installed packages...)?
May I suggest closing this bug (not a bug in fact, sorry!) and opening some feature request for pacman: printing this info after every `pacman -S something' no matter if yet installed or not?
