It does get logged to pacman.log, but those logs record transactions and not e.g. runtime warnings for ignored packages, inconsistent/missing files, prompts to replace one package with another via conflicts or replaces, etc. I guess you could stitch together a proper view of what happened, if you really needed to... just logging output seems wiser though. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
