It sat at "0 of 218 items" for an entire run. The watcher looked for
"(120/218) upgrading foo", which pacman only prints when it is drawing its
progress bar - and the unattended runs this exists for are precisely the ones
started with --noprogressbar, where it instead prints "upgrading glibc..." with
no counter at all. So nothing ever matched and the position never moved.
Both shapes are handled now. Where there is no counter the packages are tallied
here, one line each, and the total is read from the "Package (218)" header
pacman prints before it starts - a better number than checkupdates gives, since
that counts packages with an update available and knows nothing about new
dependencies pulled in alongside them. Replayed against a real 218-package run
from the log: 63, 137, 215, 218 of 218, with the package name in each step.
Offer to switch off CachyOS's reboot notification while enabling. cachyos-hooks
ships a PostTransaction hook that pops up "Reboot recommended!" the moment a
kernel, driver or systemd package is unpacked. That is fine for a manual
upgrade, where the transaction is the last thing happening. In an unattended
one it lands mid-run, with AUR packages still to build and Flatpaks still to
pull, and asking for a restart there is an invitation to cut the update in
half. Overriding the hook by name from /etc/pacman.d/hooks is the standard way
to switch a distribution hook off and is undone by deleting the link.
Offered rather than done, like the existing cachy-update prompt: it is another
package's behaviour and it applies to manual upgrades too.
