I know there's another thread relating to the speed of pacman -Sy and it prompted me to ask a question I've been meaning to ask for a long time. If I do a "pacman-g2 -S" of a package which doesn't exist, the result on my laptop is a lot of disk activity and almost exactly 2 minutes later I get the response "error: could not add target 'freddo': not found in sync db". Of course the timing of this operation is dependent on a lot of factors, including the speed of my laptop's hard drive which is generally slower than I would like. Regardless I am left wondering why it takes so long to confirm that the package quoted doesn't exist in the database.
