Details

The hunspell-en package ceased to exist recently:
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/hunspell-en&id=ddd1713c31e306620f8c0464b11e53593e23e788

As a result of an upgrade, all four "subpackages" got installed, even though I said "no" to two of them:


:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace hunspell-en with extra/hunspell-en_AU? [Y/n] n
:: Replace hunspell-en with extra/hunspell-en_CA? [Y/n] n
:: Replace hunspell-en with extra/hunspell-en_GB? [Y/n] y
:: Replace hunspell-en with extra/hunspell-en_US? [Y/n] y

Are you sure you did not have hunspell-en_AU installed. It is saying it is being upgraded, not installed.

Oops, I did - hunspell-en-2018.04.16-2 depended on all 4 subpackages [1]. So I guess the only question is whether the prompt could be made less confusing...
