Details

Description: When installing new packages or updating packages, pacman will recommend new optional dependencies for some of them, but some of them are already installed or installing at the same time. Ideally, it would not do this and would only recommend new optional dependencies if they were not installed and possibly if they also were not installing.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
4.0.2-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce: install or upgrade a package such as gnupg, and pacman will recommend packages such as curl and libldap whether they're already installed or not (in this case, they are).
