Affected Version
yay v11.1.2 - libalpm v13.0.1
Describe the bug
When --print-format is passed to yay when installing a package, yay will synchronize package databases before exiting with a 'target not found' error
Reproduction Steps
- Find a AUR package (I selected scc)
- Invoke yay with the package (eg,
yay --print-format "%n %v" -Syu scc
Expected behavior
yay should ignore the --print-format argument and install the packages as necessary. It doesn't actually have to process it, or apply it, just ignore it (and whatever operand is provided to it)
The reason this is relevant is because the ansible pacman module always passes --print-format by default, and as far as I can tell, there's no way to disable this.
