I use the command "pacman -Sup" to get the updates for a computer without internet. But it doesn't deal with replaces. I heard --noconfirm is implied when you use the "--print". So in my opinion it would make sense that "pacman -Sup" would print out _all_ the packages that would have been downloaded with "pacman -Syu --noconfirm" (assuming the database files are up-to-date). That would mean it would print out replaces and new dependencies of those as well.
This task depends upon

My guess is this is easily fixed by extending https://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=ee3b

Isn't that patch returning a default response of 0 for any events that is not ALPM_QUESTION_INSTALL_IGNOREPKG,
when running in --print mode? Wouldn't that overide the alpm defaults for all other events? Also, I would be interested
to know where or how those alpm default values would be set...

Sorry, I'm not at all familiar with the pacman codebase, so any help would be appreciated.
