Details

I often do a 'pacman -Su' to see which packages to fetch manually later on as my Arch system is currently on dialup. This means I've got a lot of "starting full system upgrade" entries in pacman.log with less than a quarter of them being the real thing.
So please modify pacman to not log this line when
a) it is called with -p, maybe with -w too
b) progress is canceled by typing N
as these to not modify the system.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Using -Qu in pacman3 does not log lines in pacman.log

Maybe add a flag to update DB but not actually do the upgrade, just show updated packages. This is nice when running a server, for instance, and you just want to see if certain programs are available. Of course, IgnorePkg is available too.

pacman -Qu in pacman3 fixes this issue.
